An entrance can be furnished, or it can be built. Kyo Reception belongs to the second school: Martex conceives it as an architectural element rather than a piece of furniture that happens to stand in the lobby. Volumes are pure and load-like, proportions are balanced against the room, and the thick top draws one continuous line across the entrance the way a beam draws a ceiling.

That is why it scales the way architecture does. The seven compositions of the abacus grow from a compact 1800 mm linear desk to double-body schemes for large corporate halls, all at the same 1000 mm depth, all in right- or left-handed versions - the element adapts to the plan, from an executive headquarters to a multi-floor corporate building, without changing its language. Design Mario Mazzer.

La Mercanti works with architects and facility teams across India on entrances where the desk must hold its own against double-height lobbies: the Martex samples of gres, oak and BioArgilla reach your project table before any commitment is signed.

FAQ

Which composition suits a mid-size corporate lobby?
The wing schemes with overall widths of 2720, 2920 or 3520 mm are the usual middle ground: one operator, a generous approach surface, and the same 1000 mm depth as every other scheme in the abacus.
Is the desk delivered assembled or built on site?
It arrives as separate elements - body, top, upper volume - and is assembled in position by installers, which is also how it passes goods lifts and lobby doors that a monobloc counter never would.
Can the interior storage be reached without leaving the desk?
Yes - the upper element opens towards the operator as a full-width compartment, and the fitted unit below the top puts folders and devices within a seated arm's reach.
What does the optional LED actually illuminate?
Specified beneath the top or along the plinth, it grazes the front cladding - the effect is strongest on the Pacific Bianco gres, whose veining picks up the light.
Who follows the order after the quotation?
One La Mercanti contact: finish codes and handing are fixed in the written order, delivery dates are confirmed in writing at order confirmation, and freight to India is coordinated with your building's schedule.

How to keep the paper trail of a Kyo Reception order tidy

Entrance projects cross facility teams, site managers and procurement at once. Five records keep a Kyo Reception by Martex order unambiguous from first drawing to handover.

Open one folder per entrance
Start a single dossier for the Kyo Reception with the lobby plan, the chosen scheme and its RH or LH handing stated on page one.
Record finishes as codes
Write Rovere Classico 004 or gres 495 Storm Nero, never adjectives - codes survive every approval round unchanged.
File the composition drawing
Keep the abacus scheme with body and overall widths quoted in millimetres, so site and procurement read the same numbers.
Log the electrical points
Note where power enters the base and which sockets live in the fitted unit, signed by the site electrician.
Keep the written confirmations
Store La Mercanti's order confirmation with its dates: that document, not memory, closes any later discussion.
