Orangebox
Today, the office landscape is changing more rapidly than ever before. Technology’s impact on how we work can’t always be anticipated. Orangebox recognises this and is focused on providing product that helps our clients embrace tomorrow, whatever form it takes. A key benefit of today’s technology is the ability to work anywhere. With this in mind, we aim to ensure that within the office environment, you can work everywhere.
The design and production values that imbue Orangebox products are: simple, smart, never overcooked and focused on bringing innovation to real market needs. Orangebox furniture is designed to bring work and home together in a new kind of work setting - a 3rd space - where people can work in, what Orangebox terms, the Comfort Zone.
Similarly, Orangebox task chairs offer a level of design and engineering finesse married to the ergonomic pedigree that Giroflex has established over the last 40 years. The key principles of an Orangebox task chairs are: (value) ergonomics, ease of use, dimensional fit and dynamic function.
Addressing environmental issues, proactively.
Improving environmental performance is not a new concept for Orangebox. We've worked consistenly to introduce environmental imrovements for over a decade and whilst 'Tread Softly' may be our new way of expressing our environmnetal commitment, the truth is that we've been trying to walk on tip toes for years.
We have implemented an environmental business model that addresses sustainability from three sides of our business and are working with recognised environmental consultancies Best Foot Forward and Climate Care to carry out ecological and carbon footprinting to further optimise our performance and have been awarded full FISP accreditation by FIRA.
Firstly - our environmental approach to product design focuses on the use of sustainable materials and the use of minimal energy for product manufacturing. As well, all of our products are designed for long service life.
Secondly - our supply chain is optimised to aid sustainable consumption by actively reducing ‘product miles’ and our key suppliers support our environmental aspirations by acting as material researchers and innovators.
Thirdly - we believe that an environmental agenda should always be a key driver in our growth. This ‘business eco-culture’ is evident throughout the company, from the boardroom to our delivery drivers, in our product development strategy, our staff training and ultimately, in.
