Custom Metal Counters
Welcome meets service.
Custom metal reception desks and bar counters with coordinated surfaces and lighting.
Reception desks and bar counters share a similar form, while the work behind them differs. Reception staff need a suitable workspace; beverage service needs preparation, serving and washing areas. Define the use first, then coordinate dimensions, materials and lighting for both the guest-facing side and the staff area.
TWO APPLICATIONS
Plan the staff side around the daily needs of your hotel, restaurant or lounge.
Hotel reception · Restaurant host desks
A workspace for welcoming guests, registration and daily reception tasks. The guest-facing side follows the interior design, while the staff side is arranged around the way your team works.
Lounges · Restaurants · Coffee and beverage service
Arrange the working area for coffee preparation, cocktails and other drinks. Where glass washing or handwashing is needed, discuss sink options alongside the worktop, equipment and site conditions.
CHOOSE MATERIALS & REFERENCES
Start with a material or a counter reference, then develop the direction around your space, dimensions and staff-side use.
MATERIALS LIBRARY
Explore stainless steel finishes, glass and aluminium in the Materials Library. Save the options you like for the counter front and finishing details.
Select a sample to browse similar finishes. Stone, leather and other custom materials can be discussed with your project brief.
PRODUCT GALLERY
Browse reception desk and bar counter images to compare shapes, front details and interior settings. Save the references that fit your project.
Open larger images, save references and use their image codes to show us the details you like.
Bring your material codes or image references to the conversation. We can then confirm surfaces, dimensions and the internal layout together.
FOUR PARTS OF THE COUNTER
A counter can combine several materials. Distinguishing these parts makes it easier to align the visual design with everyday use.
A metal frame forms the primary structure, with construction details developed around the counter size, shape and selected finishes.
The main guest-facing surface uses material, texture, joints and form to connect with the interior design.
The surface guests touch or use for personal items and drinks. Options include natural stone, artificial stone and sintered stone slabs.
The surface used by staff, selected around reception tasks, beverage preparation or washing requirements.
Overall length, corners, staff positions and equipment placement all influence the counter dimensions. Begin with a catalogue reference, then develop the layout against the site plan.
A typical counter height reference, adjusted to the use and design requirements.
A typical range, developed around the surfaces and staff-side functions.
Consider staff and equipment separately; it does not automatically follow the overall height.
Counter depth does not include the staff aisle. Please share a plan showing adjacent furniture, walls and equipment.
COUNTERTOP OPTIONS
Consider who uses each surface and what happens there before choosing its material and edge details.
Choose around the interior palette, preferred texture and feel, then coordinate the edges and corners.
Choose around equipment placement, daily tasks and washing requirements. Sink and equipment openings need to follow the actual specifications.
A scratch-resistant texture is a finish option; actual performance depends on the specific material, finish and use. Materials and construction details are confirmed for each project.
FRONT MATERIALS
Use one material or combine several finishes. These are options to discuss; colours, textures and connection details are developed around the selected counter design.
Use profile shapes and spacing to create lines, rhythm and depth.
Coordinate transparency, colour and the structure behind the glass.
Connect the front, countertop and surrounding interior through natural or artificial stone.
Introduce texture and colour through leather finishes and panel arrangements.
Use a textured metal surface to introduce relief and changing reflections.
Define the metal finish through colour, surface treatment and joint layout.
Discuss sheet combinations around colour, transparency and lighting requirements.
Images from the LMC-SS-09 catalogue illustrate form and surface effects. Specific materials and configurations are confirmed for each project.
LINEAR LIGHTING
Optional linear lighting can be considered alongside the front finish, countertop edge or base detail, with its position and effect coordinated with the overall design.
PLAN YOUR COUNTER
A layout or visual reference is enough to begin the conversation. Open details can be resolved as the proposal develops.
Reception or beverage service; staff numbers; and whether coffee, cocktail preparation, glass washing or handwashing areas are needed.
Share approximate length, depth and height with a site plan showing the staff aisle, nearby walls and other confirmed conditions.
Describe the front, guest top, working surface and lighting separately. Add catalogue examples or interior references where available.
Share specifications for selected equipment and sinks. Confirm openings, interfaces and the scope of supply before developing the counter details.
FAQ
Yes. They can use a similar counter form and finish palette, with the staff side configured for its purpose. Reception layouts focus on the staff workspace; bar layouts consider drink preparation and washing requirements.
No. Approximately 1,100 mm is a typical overall height reference, with a typical depth of 600–900 mm. Both can be discussed for your project. The internal working surface height is confirmed separately.
No. We primarily use a metal frame. Front options include aluminium profiles, glass, stone, leather, hammered metal, stainless steel and acrylic, with connections developed around the chosen materials.
Guest-top options include natural stone, artificial stone and sintered stone slabs. Working surfaces can use textured stainless steel with a scratch-resistant finish, artificial stone or tempered glass. Each side can use a different material, selected for its intended use.
These areas can be planned around your project needs, equipment, sinks and site conditions. The supply scope for coffee machines and other equipment, sinks and associated items must be agreed individually.
Yes. Use an image to show the visual direction, then share the intended use, approximate dimensions, material preferences and site layout. Specifications for any equipment or sinks are needed as the design develops.
