Company Overview and Contact Information

Orangebox operates multiple offices and showrooms across the UK, including locations in London, Huddersfield, and South Wales. They emphasize local manufacturing and sustainability in their operations.

Design Philosophy and Innovation

Orangebox focuses on creating ergonomic office chairs by questioning every component's necessity and optimizing materials for strength, weight, and usability. Their design approach prioritizes simplicity, ease of assembly, and environmental responsibility, aiming to reinvent task chair design to be competitive and sustainable.

Materials and Environmental Considerations

  • Use of recycled and sustainable materials: polypropylene (4900g), nylon (3700g), steel (3600g, ~35% recycled), aluminium (890g, ~95% recycled), CMHR foam (650g), TPU (427g), POM (110g), recycled foam (10g), natural rubber (7g).
  • Design for disassembly and closed-loop recycling to maximize resource reuse.
  • Local manufacturing reduces product miles, with 45% of components made within 10 miles of the South Wales factory and over 90% sourced from mainland Europe.

Product Features and User-Centered Design

  • Flexible lumbar support with 100mm adjustment, easy to operate while seated.
  • Intuitive seat controls: height adjustment on one side, depth adjustment on the other.

  • Optional travel limiter for back recline with three angles and upright lock.
  • Mesh textiles provide breathability and adapt to body shape for comfort.

Assembly and Packaging

  • Packaging optimized to reduce size and transportation impact, allowing partially assembled chairs to be shipped in smaller boxes.

Transportation and Environmental Impact

  • Specialized trailers with double deck flooring to maximize load capacity.
  • Focus on reducing transportation miles and environmental footprint.

Product Range and Customization
