Lobby zones fail for different reasons
Hotel lobby furniture does not wear out evenly. Reception pieces meet luggage first, lounge seating accumulates the most seated hours, and corridor consoles take trolley impact without ever being sat on. Specifying one furniture grade for the whole lobby overbuys some zones and underbuys others. This page separates the three zones and states what each one needs from the specification.
Zone specification matrix
| Zone | Dominant stress | Specification priority | Confirm in writing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reception / check-in | Luggage contact, first impressions | Carved, metal-free surfaces; firmer, shallower waiting seats | Seat depth; lacquer schedule; corner protection |
| Guest lounge | Long seated periods | Comfort geometry: 40-44 cm seat height, back angle, armrest width | Cushions included or separate; fabric/leather spec if upholstered |
| Corridor / elevator lobby | Trolley and luggage impact | Leg protection, wall clearance over upholstery | Finished width vs corridor clear width (typically ≥ 1.5 m); wall-side face treatment |
How the site's own range maps to the zones
The phoenix carved reception set in the sofa category is configured for reception and lounge duty, with hand-carved phoenix-and-peony backrest panels and an eight-coat raw lacquer finish stated on its product page. The Ming-style seven-piece and nine-piece living room sets cover larger lounge footprints (the nine-piece set is planned around 40-60 sqm spaces). The three-piece compact sofa set suits boutique properties where floor area is limited. For corridor consoles, the cabinet category's sideboard and display cabinet carry the statement role.
Ordering workflow for lobby projects
- Zone the floor plan first; do not quote the lobby as one furniture line.
- Send per-zone quantities and floor dimensions; request the lacquer schedule per zone in writing.
- Confirm FSC chain-of-custody and CITES documentation scope with the destination market in mind.
- Plan delivery around the site's knock-down options where lifts or doorways are tight.
Send the zone breakdown in the enquiry form below; the response will map each zone to the matching pieces and flag the geometry and documentation points above.
