Art Deco is a hymn to progress and luxury. In 2026, this style is experiencing a renaissance in corporate headquarters and boutique hotel design. It is the choice for those white-knuckling their success loudly and confidently. An Art Deco reception is a piece of jewelry on a room scale. We'll examine how to use symmetry, gold, and exotic materials to create an interior that looks like a million dollars before the first word is even spoken.
The Geometry of Power: Symmetry and Rhythm
The core of Art Deco is strict symmetry. The reception desk often acts as the central axis for the entire hall. We utilize stepped forms (ziggurats) that echo New York skyscraper architecture. This rhythm creates a sense of order and the unwavering stability of your business. Every facade line is ruler-aligned, and material joints are turned into decorative elements.
Gatsby Materials: Ebony and Macassar
Exoticism in Finishes
We use rare wood species with pronounced graphics: Macassar ebony, rosewood, walnut burl. Deep glossy lacquer ('piano finish') reveals texture depth, making it almost 3D. Combined with polished brass and inlays of natural mother-of-pearl or suede, such a desk becomes the absolute space dominant.
