Make Check In Easy to Find
Keep the desk visible from the entrance and allow room for the queue away from elevator traffic.
Give Conversations Their Own Space
Join straight and curved modules so guests can face each other away from the main route.
Add Seats When It Gets Busy
Use straight sofas for everyday waiting and reserve room for extra ottomans at busy times.
In the first 30 seconds of a visit, people are looking for three things: where to check in, where to wait and whether there is a comfortable place to talk. A reception desk plus a row of sofas along the wall leaves all three competing for the same space at busy times. Office lobby seating layout exists to separate them on the plan.
A lone row of sofas in a tall lobby leaves visitors unsure whether they may sit. Map the entrance, reception desk, elevators and access gates first. Place waiting seats within sight of the desk, clear of queues and through-traffic. Use a straight run to define the seating edge, then turn inward with a curved module and leave an obvious opening — people sit into a conversation, not side by side staring at the lobby.
Allow roughly 1.2 m between seating groups, and keep the routes between check-in, elevators and the office straight and legible.
Using the layout concepts as an example: coral upholstery marks short-stay seating near the entrance, teal identifies conversation groups farther inside, and a shared neutral floor with consistent table finishes ties the zones together. With color aligned to seating orientation, guests can read where to wait and where to talk from the entrance — no signage required.
Turn the opening of a semi-enclosed group away from the direct sightline of elevators and gates, so conversations face the quieter side; curved backs reduce the sense of exposure. Be clear about the limit: open lobby seating suits brief meetings and everyday conversation — confidential discussions still belong in an enclosed meeting room.

R: No necesariamente. Agrupa primero los muebles existentes alrededor de una mesa de centro; un grupo de asientos bien delimitado llena mejor un vestíbulo alto que un sofá demasiado grande.
R: No. Los grupos semicerrados son adecuados para reuniones breves y conversaciones cotidianas; las discusiones confidenciales deben realizarse en una sala de reuniones cerrada.
A: Calcula el número de personas que esperan en línea simultáneamente y la duración de su estancia durante el periodo de mayor afluencia. Luego, reserva pufs adicionales para grupos. Planifica para la hora punta, no para el promedio.
A: Repita un color neutro o un acabado metálico en ambas zonas y mantenga el contraste de color principal solo en la tapicería.
A: La producción de sofás tarda aproximadamente 25 días, sin incluir el envío. Si realiza un pedido junto con mostradores de recepción o mesas para una única fecha de instalación, tenga en cuenta el plazo de entrega más largo.
