Accordingly, the central piece of furniture should not be left to chance as the focal point at the start of personal discussions with important guests – suppliers, customers, cooperation partners – but should be a consciously designed carrier of the brand identity.

Whether a “welcome counter” signals openness, an inviting atmosphere and professionalism is also a question of the choice of materials. Thanks to its diversity, it makes sense to use glass here: as a clear band with a transparent finish, with an elegant matt finish, as a high-gloss, back-printed or lacquered surface. Or provided with colourful accents, brand signet and exciting illumination options.

What all design concepts and the various functional aspects have in common is, of course, the claim that counter glazing is suitable for everyday use. And here, too, glass shows its strengths: In addition to the visual stimuli and design options – keywords “completely variable transparency and colour design as desired” – the material stands for durability (especially as a stable ESG), hygienic surfaces and easy maintenance.
