The chairman office does not only need to be beautiful on the surface. It must have enough depth to demonstrate the weight of leadership thinking. Because every square meter in that space is a balance between power and sophistication. Between strategic reason and guiding emotions. As a designer of workspaces for the decision-making class. For me, designing spaces for leaders is not an interior problem. It is the art of choosing the right symbol for power and sophistication. And among hundreds of high-class materials, translucent Onyx stone stands out as a manifesto of light for leaders. In this article, I will analyze why Onyx is becoming the “aesthetic heart” of high-class president’s offices.
1. Translucent Onyx Stone – A masterpiece of nature and light in the chairman office
In the world of interior design materials, translucent Onyx stone is considered a unique treasure. It has both surreal beauty and profound aesthetic and feng shui values. Formed from calcium minerals over millions of years underground. This rare natural stone has a semi-transparent structure. Allowing light to pass through, creating an incomparable magical effect. When combined with a specialized LED lighting system. The Onyx stone surface glows like a living work of art. Instantly transforming any space into a classy and attractive one.
What makes Onyx special is not only its ability to “catch light”. But also its unique color and veins. No two slabs of stone are the same. From warm honey yellow, pure white with cloud veins to noble jade green. Each Onyx slab is a personalized mark, contributing to the unique personality of each project. With the ability to interact with light in a subtle way. Onyx is not simply a material. It is a catalyst that brings emotion, depth and artistic value to modern workspaces. This is the reason why leading architects and interior designers always favor Onyx for their chairman’s office projects. (Choosing an air purifier for the president’s office).
2. Popular locations for applying translucent Onyx in the chairman office
Decorative wall behind the President’s chair – The center of power and superior feng shui
In the design of the president’s office, the position of the wall behind the chair is not only an aesthetic factor. But also has an extremely important feng shui meaning. It symbolizes “leaning on the mountain”, solidity and authority. Therefore, translucent Onyx stone is the preferred choice for this area. To create a strong visual highlight. Both impressive and sophisticated. When combined with the LED lighting system behind. Each stone grain is “awakened”, lit up and creates a fascinating visual effect. Especially when the company logo or the president’s personal nameplate is integrated on the Onyx background. The effectiveness of brand recognition and creating a personal mark is raised to the level of art. This is not just a wall. But a silent declaration of the position, vision and class of the head of the business.
Reception counter, tea table & wine cabinet – Reception space with “luxury modern” mark
The reception area in the president’s office is where the class and personal brand are conveyed. Therefore, translucent Onyx stone is cleverly applied to the reception counter, tea table top. Or wine display cabinets to enhance the luxurious space in a sophisticated and modern way. When combined with materials such as walnut wood, powder-coated metal or reflective glass. The “luxury modern” effect is clear, strong but not ostentatious, classy but still close.
Especially in the evening, the light from the translucent Onyx panels gently reflects through wine glasses, tea sets… Creating an emotional space. Where every conversation becomes a memorable experience. For VIP guests or strategic partners, this area is the “stage” for the chairman to demonstrate his aesthetic taste and leadership position.
Onyx Translucent Ceiling – Powerful yet sophisticated lighting effect in the chairman office
The design of the Onyx stone translucent ceiling in the president’s office is a strategic choice. Not only because of its aesthetic value, but also because of the sense of space it brings. Different from conventional direct light. Onyx allows light to pass through softly. Creating an indirect lighting effect that is extremely gentle on the eyes, but still strong enough to enhance the space. This is an ideal solution for offices that require quiet. Concentration but still maintain a sense of power and majesty. Onyx ceilings are often arranged in the entrance area, internal meeting rooms or private working areas. Helps balance formality and relaxation. During the day, natural light can combine harmoniously with the light from the stone. Brings a sense of openness to the space and reduces visual pressure. Thereby creating the best conditions for the leader’s strategic thinking.
Onyx stone integrated desk – Personalized class statement
The chairman’s workspace cannot be a stereotyped design. More and more chairmen require their desks to be custom-designed. Bearing a strong personal mark and reflecting their leadership philosophy. In particular, the translucent Onyx stone table top is becoming the top choice. When combined with natural woods such as American walnut, thick grain veneer. With table legs crafted from PVD-coated metal. The overall desk becomes a sophisticated work of craftsmanship. Both modern and sturdy.
In the evening, the light passing through the Onyx table creates a soft halo. Like the inner fire that always burns inside the leader. Not simply a workplace, the table becomes a symbol of insight, decisiveness and leadership thinking beyond standards. This is also the detail that makes partners, employees. Or anyone entering the room clearly feel the chairman’s unique “energy zone”. (Top 5 materials that make up an expensive president’s office).
3. Practical experience in Onyx stone construction
Choosing a reputable stone supplier – The foundation that determines 70% of the quality of the project
Not all Onyx slabs meet the standards for translucent construction. The difference lies in the level of transparency, the thickness of the grain and the quality of the surface treatment. A beautiful slab but too opaque, with messy grain or carelessly processed. Will not be able to create the desired lighting effect. Therefore, choosing a supplier is extremely important.
The unit you choose must have a real stone warehouse, allowing you to directly check the light passing through each stone sample. In addition, you should request a real light test on the entire slab, not just through a small cut sample. Some professional factories also provide stone origin certificates. Scratch-resistant surface treatment techniques and post-construction warranty support. With Onyx, don’t save money in the wrong place, because if the stone is not placed correctly. The entire design will lose its aesthetic value and the feeling of light that is the soul of this material.
Lighting system design – The “soul” of translucent Onyx stone
A beautiful Onyx stone slab is not enough. To maximize the beauty, an LED lighting system is needed that is carefully calculated in terms of intensity, distance and light color. The type of light I recommend is a warm yellow LED light (3000K). With stable brightness and long life. It is especially important to avoid the phenomenon of “light spots”, uneven light. Causing patchy bright and dark areas, damaging the light transmission effect. To handle this, it is recommended to use a diffuser mica sheet or frosted glass placed between the LED and the stone surface. This helps the light to spread more evenly and softly. In addition, the distance between the LED and the stone surface also needs to be carefully calculated (usually from 3-7cm depending on the design). This requires close coordination between the architect, electrical engineer and stone construction unit. To ensure optimal efficiency. Light not only highlights the stone grain, it also turns the stone surface into a vivid work of art.
Reinforcement and technical treatment – Protecting the “mascot” of high-class space
Onyx stone has a splendid appearance but is inherently thinner, more brittle and more fragile than granite or marble. Therefore, reinforcement is required if you want to apply it to items with impact force. In practice, we often use the “backing” technique. Stick the back of the stone with tempered glass or composite panels to increase durability and safety.
In items such as tea tables, cabinet surfaces or decorative walls. It is necessary to choose specialized adhesives such as transparent epoxy to ensure both structure and not affect the lighting effect. In addition, limit Onyx construction in locations that are prone to impact. Or places that are likely to vibrate, unless there is an accompanying protective solution. Each piece of Onyx stone is as precious as a handmade work. Proper construction is the only way to preserve its beauty and long-term use value.
Maintenance and cleaning – Keep the stone shining like the first day in the chairman office
Unlike granite or ceramic, Onyx is a soft stone, easily scratched and sensitive to strong chemicals. Therefore, maintenance requires caution and proper understanding. When cleaning, absolutely do not use strong acidic or alkaline detergents. Instead, use a specialized cleaning solution for natural stone. Or simply warm water diluted with mild soap. Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth, do not rub hard, to avoid scratching the surface.
For areas of frequent use such as desks or coffee tables. Can be coated with a transparent nano scratch-resistant layer after construction to increase longevity and gloss. At the same time, periodically check the LED lighting system behind to ensure the light is always even and stable. Proper maintenance not only keeps the stone beautiful. But also helps the space retain its luxurious atmosphere for many years of use. (Interior design of the president’s office combines the quintessence of Vietnamese crafts).
Conclude
A normal working space only needs to be comfortable. But the president’s office is a place that does not allow mediocrity to exist. Every detail here, from light, materials, to structure, must carry expressive weight. It is not only a place to make decisions, but also a place to “display” the strategic thinking, aesthetic taste and courage of the leader. It is the type of space that makes people close their voices. It is not noisy, not ostentatious, but every line, every piece of translucent Onyx stone emits a kind of silent language. The language of courage, of someone who understands the value of power does not lie in ostentation, but in the depth of sophistication.
