It remains, however, a useful and necessary part of coroporate, teaching and church life. Whether you are a neverous one-time speaker or a seasoned orator, a lecturn needs to serve you well and look good. But not too good. You don't want it to be a distraction from what you are saying. Our lecturns are minimal yet elegant. They fit into a wide variety of interiors, from the ultra modern to the beautifully traditional. They are easy to move around and add to (rather than distract from) the message being communicated.
Our speciality is lecturns for modern churches. We focus on this area because we want to make the best possible lecterns for this purpose.
This doesn't mean we have been tempted in the past to get into seating and so on (we know this could do with a makeover). However this would mean taking our focus away from improving our existing product.
What about the need for lecturns in the corporate area?
There is certainly a need for great looking lecturns in the context outside the sanctuary. In fact many of our products are used at business events. It's just that the features of our lecterns make them the most suitable for churches with modern facilities.
We found that if we tried to make lecturns that suited everybody in every situation they weren't very good for anybody. For example if we made a large area at the front where you could insert an advertising panel, that would be great in a marketing conference, but not so good in a church where there is a trend towards transparency. Additionally, this would make the lecterns heavier, making them more difficult to move on and off the stage. This feature is important, since generally in a service there are several parts (worship then announcements, then an offering/tithe time, then message, then altar call, then more worship etc). So in this situation, a lecturn with a front panel might be OK, but it wouldn't be the best it can be.
So why don't we do a bigger product range, a business model, a sanctuary model for example?
Well, in the future we might. However, for us it is important to remain focused on continuously improving our church lecturns so that they are the best. If we were to start worrying about another market area, we might slow down or stop our improvement on our lecturns for churches.
Unfortunately its not just a case of designing something and making it. It needs constant improvement. Making a great lecturns for sanctuaries is something that needs ongoing concentration and effort. We are passionate about this.
