Contemporary Grey Marble Reception Desk with Fluted Base

This contemporary 3ds Max reception desk features a striking grey marble surface paired with a sophisticated fluted timber base. This substantial reception desk is defined by its dual-station layout, featuring two elevated marble-clad blocks separated by a recessed central transaction section. The main body showcases a high-contrast grey marble with pronounced veining, arranged in a chevron pattern on the front panels. The lower section consists of a continuous fluted timber base, adding texture and warmth to the design. Two minimalist brass-finished table lamps sit atop the marble surfaces, providing a refined decorative touch. The overall form is clean and linear, balancing heavy stone elements with the delicate, rhythmic detailing of the wooden plinth.

Materials are mapped to allow for quick adjustments to the marble veining or wood grain scale.
