Stone for bars and reception desks
A bar or reception desk is the first surface a guest touches. Tops need to resist spills; fronts can be decorative, which is where onyx and agate come in.
Translucent stone can be backlit behind a bar front or desk panel, with an even LED panel and a ventilated frame.
