Give Visitors a Clear Route
SSeparate check-in and waiting from the main path through the lobby.
Carry the Brand into the Lounge
Repeat a brand accent in the upholstery and coordinate the finishes across the furniture.
Choose Seating for Daily Use
Choose fixed sofas for a stable layout or modular seating for a space that changes often.
Visitors should be able to spot the reception desk, check in and find a seat without crossing a queue. When that route works, the reception area is already half done. A good office reception layout starts with zoning and circulation — sofas, coffee tables and brand colours come after. M&W plans the furniture around the floor plan, how long visitors typically stay and how often the space needs to change.
Mark the entry, check-in point, waiting seats and route into the office on the floor plan. Keep waiting seats within sight of the desk and outside door swings and queue space. Test the layout with three things in mind: space for a guest to stand up and walk around the coffee table, space for staff to move behind the counter, and main-route width — typically 1.2 m or more so two people can pass each other.
The reception wall and sign carry the identity; the furniture picks it up. Use the brand colour on a sofa back or a lounge chair, keep larger upholstered areas neutral, and repeat one or two finishes across the tables and bases. Three echoes are enough — more colours read as clutter. Review physical samples under the lobby lighting, not the showroom's: colour shift and glare show up only in the real room.
Compact reception areas: a fixed sofa against the wall with a small round table frees up the centre. For short waits, easy sitting and standing matter most. Sample reviews and short meetings: add a lounge chair and a small discussion table. Keep the coffee table within arm's reach of the sofa — typically 30–45 cm — so guests can reach it without getting up.

A: Calcula el número de visitantes simultáneos en hora punta y añade un 20-30% para llegadas en grupo. Generalmente, es mejor disponer de menos asientos, pero con suficiente espacio entre ellos, que colocar una fila completa que estreche el recorrido.
A: Envíe un plano de planta con dimensiones, la ubicación de puertas y columnas, la posición del mostrador de recepción y el volumen máximo de visitantes. También son útiles las fotos del lugar y los colores corporativos.
R: Sí, dependiendo de cómo se conecten los módulos. Comprueba qué piezas pueden usarse de forma independiente y cómo quedarán alineadas las partes traseras y las uniones después de reorganizarlas.
R: Depende del uso: una mesita auxiliar para bebidas, una superficie más grande para folletos y muestras. Coloca la mesa a 30-45 cm del sofá y asegúrate de que los invitados puedan sentarse y moverse con facilidad a su alrededor.
R: Sí. Un sofá contra la pared y una mesita redonda pueden servir tanto para esperar como para conversar brevemente. Para conversaciones privadas, utilice una habitación aparte.
