At Make Design Lab, the reception and lobby area needed to do two things exceptionally well: create a strong first impression for visitors and control the echo typical of open, modern interiors. PANELUX™ slat panels were selected to achieve both aesthetic impact and acoustic performance in a single architectural solution.

First-Impression Design

Installed behind the reception desk and across key lobby surfaces, the slat panels establish a warm, modern focal point the moment visitors enter the space. The vertical rhythm of the slats adds depth and sophistication, reinforcing Make Design Lab’s design-forward identity while creating a refined backdrop for the reception area.

Echo Reduction in an Open Lobby

Lobby environments often suffer from excessive reverberation due to hard flooring, glass, and high ceilings. The acoustic backing of the PANELUX™ slat panels absorbs reflected sound and reduces echo, helping conversations at reception remain clear and comfortable even during busy periods.

Architectural Integration

The panel system allowed the design team to carry the slat pattern seamlessly across wall surfaces, creating a cohesive architectural language throughout the entry sequence. Clean alignment and consistent spacing reinforced the minimalist aesthetic while maintaining visual balance within the lobby.

Outcome

The finished space delivers a welcoming, high-end entrance experience while quietly improving acoustic comfort. With PANELUX™ slat panels, Make Design Lab achieved a lobby that not only looks impressive on arrival but also performs acoustically for everyday use.
