Reception Desk for Art Gallery
This reception desk was designed to fit the neighborhood in which the art gallery is located. It had an old craftsman-style vibe. We created a glass grid inset across the top of the desk to achieve this look. The gallery owner wanted an L-shaped desk with custom storage to fit everything she needed to conduct business—a place for bags, the cash drawer, and paper to wrap fragile items.
The desktop has a hidden drawer that pulls out for her to store packing paper and create a platform to set items on to be wrapped.
The challenge with L-shaped cabinets and desks is the dead space in the corner. I created a lighted display area to show off products to prevent this dead space.
The desk is made from cherry and features a glass check writing stand.

This looks great! The corner display is a perfect way to use that space.
The desk is art in itself. Great design, use of space, and the workmanship is even better.

Perfect for the setting. I love it.

That’s beautifully done! One of my favorite looks.

Beautiful work.
One thing—it needs some type of door (maybe with a mesh) where the computer and power strip mess is.

Great use of space and craftsman design. Build is excellent.
Well done, one that stands out. Very nice.
I fine piece indeed. I was wondering if you could’ve used one or two pieces of glass instead of all those little squares?
You’re a true craftsman Brian. It must be nice to make a living from something you love doing.
