Melbourne CBD Shop Fitout – Belgian Black Marble Reception Desk
Project Overview
A high-end retail fitout in the heart of Melbourne CBD, featuring a luxurious reception desk as the focal point. The client wanted a striking feature that combines the elegance of Belgian Black Marble with practical functionality for daily operations.

Stone Materials & Finishes
-
Belgian Black Marble: Chosen for its deep black surface and subtle white veining, creating a bold, luxurious focal point
-
Finishes: Polished to enhance the marble’s natural patterns and reflect ambient lighting
Key Features
-
Custom Reception Desk Panels: Marble slabs carefully cut and aligned to showcase continuous veining and flawless patterns
-
Seamless Installation: Minimal joints and clean edges for a premium, uninterrupted surface
-
Integrated Lighting (Optional): Soft lighting highlights the marble’s veining and creates an inviting glow
-
Minimalist Detailing: No visible hardware or trims to keep the focus on the stone
-
Functional Luxury: Designed for durability and daily operational use while maintaining elegance
Why This Project Stands Out
-
Belgian Black Marble acts as a sculptural centerpiece in the reception area
-
Precise alignment and selection of slabs emphasize the natural veining
-
Modern, minimal design ensures the marble is the visual star while complementing the shop’s overall aesthetic
-
Combines premium materials with expert craftsmanship for a luxurious yet practical reception solution
Result
The reception desk is a dramatic and inviting focal point, elevating the retail space in Melbourne CBD. The Belgian Black Marble brings sophistication and timeless elegance, creating a lasting impression for customers and staff alike.
