Building on the success of her "Ultimate Spread" food presentationware line of unique commercial serving ware and her distinctive designer podium/lectern line for the restaurant and hospitality industries, Vikki Smyth adds custom-designed reception stands and reception desks for National Corporations to her list of unique products. Amtrak's exclusive 'Coast Starlight' hostess stand is as luxurious as the train route itself as the Starlight route is regarded one of the most spectacular of all train routes linking the greatest cities on the West Coast.

Coast Starlight's hostess stand consists of materials that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also reflect the exhilarating outdoor experience of the Coast Starlight excursion. The Walnut wood frame suggests the rich vegetation along the Starlight route; Lumicor's recycled Aquamarine glass is reflective of the brilliant hues of the ocean and sky as well as Amtrak's desire to decrease their carbon footprint; and lastly, the LED-lit Amtrak and Coast Starlight logos both signify the pure luxury of the journey (the train uses Amtrak's double-decker Superliner I & II equipment, including a Sightseer Lounge car that has floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the passing scenery).

Vikki Smyth's designer podium line is now available and can be found on her company web site at www.vikkismyth.com, or directly at [email protected]
