The reception shelf is where an office actually touches its visitors: keys dropped, badges slid across, parcels signed. On Lux, that surface can be glass-ceramic — a 0.6 cm ceramic sheet bonded to a 0.6 cm glass pane, bevelled at 45 degrees on every side. Ceramic hardness where the scratches would happen, glass precision where the eye looks. It is the most honest answer a counter can give to years of daily transactions.
Designed by Gianantonio Perin and Monica Fernandes for Bralco's RE.AC line, Lux builds the rest of the desk to the same durability logic: thick melamine fronts and legs with an antibacterial surface, ABS edges, 45-degree steel joints, an aluminium plinth with adjustable feet for uneven floors. The shelf line sits at 111.2 cm in elements of 80, 120 and 160 cm; perimeter LED light at 4000 K glows from the steel supports, dimmable by zones. Widths scale across three ranges up to 400 cm — from a compact studio desk to a full corporate lobby.
Underneath, lockable drawers double as anti-tip ballast and top access units bring mains and USB A/C to hand. La Mercanti details every Lux for Indian projects on a dimensioned drawing confirmed in writing — because the surface that meets every guest should be chosen once, and chosen hard.
