The reputation of the open-plan office has suffered in recent years, with seemingly endless research pointing out its pitfalls and showing that staff may find it difficult to concentrate if there’s too much going on around them. Noise levels are central to this, either because they’re too high (something that’s fairly easy to remedy) or, more surprisingly, because they’re too low – the result of peer pressure creating a repressive, library-like atmosphere.

Coppice has been expressly designed to offer ease of installation and reconfigurability, both of which are highly valued attributes in this product.

Its architectural panels lock together effortlessly with a simple Allen key, enabling booths to be assembled rapidly, with minimal workplace disruption.

Anthracite acoustic felt panels are fixed onto surprisingly lightweight timber panels featuring a honeycomb paper core, making them easy to carry and handle in transportation and installation. Additional fabric acoustic panels can be combined with these to both expand the space planning range of Coppice and offer specifiers a wider choice of fabrics so that the booths can be integrated into their wider design scheme.

At the same time, however, open-plan workspaces offer many benefits. They are, for instance, proven to increase physical activity by encouraging interaction and movement between spaces designed for team collaboration, unplanned meetings, media conferencing, phone calls etc. They also bring people together, making us more aware of, and collaborative with, those with whom we share our space and facilities.

HMMM...

The answer lies in balancing these shared spaces and communal assets with easily accessible personal spaces that allow for uninterrupted concentration. This is where Coppice comes in. Coppice’s stand-alone, single occupancy work booths have been designed to offer a high level of acoustic comfort, increasing productivity where work tasks demand greater focus.

2. ‘Light touch’ Architecture With Coppice, the Orangebox design team interrogated the project brief, materials and production processes in search of a truly ‘light touch’ solution. The resulting product design features environmentally smart materials and also reduces the number of components to a minimum.

The combination of Coppice’s simple architectural construction and its limited palette of complementary materials and colours, creates a simplicity and integrity that’s new for this product archetype.

Coppice’s exposed birch plywood panels are finished with a natural lacquer and complemented by a unique pressed polyester acoustic felt board, available in Orangebox’s unique anthracite only. These pressed, die-cut polyester felt panels have excellent acoustic properties, removing the need for additional foams and fabrics.

3.Cable Management Coppice’s simplicity and smart design makes the integration of power and data easy and direct. In all configurations, cables pass between the panels and are free to travel both horizontally and vertically. Ease of access means they can also be retrofitted easily.

As cables are concealed in the cavity behind the pressed felt panels, the clean look and feel of the design isn’t compromised. ‘Daisy chain’ cabling can enter or exit work booths at any point above or below the workstation. And as they can also be connected from one booth to the other, Coppice booths don’t necessarily need to sit directly above a fixed floor box to be connected.

At Orangebox, our aim is to enhance the productivity and happiness of those working in contemporary open-plan environments by providing a full range of furniture to match every working scenario, from collaborative teamwork to unplanned interactions; intensive personal focus to group meetings.

Where work requires high levels of concentration and focus, Coppice is the ideal solution, offering differently configured personal booths designed to combat noise distractions in the open-plan workplace.

Compact footprint

Coppice’s compact footprint and, on larger configurations, option of sharing panels makes the best use of available space, while its organic shape ensures maximum privacy.

Meticulous design FOCUS

Coppice has been meticulously designed so that a small number of components can facilitate a wide range of configurations, providing varying degrees of privacy to suit different tasks. Five key smart panels can be combined to suit multiple scenarios and offer diverse planning options, each of which allows for the creation of a density of ‘private space’ within a small footprint.

Coppice offers a valuable, widely respected archetype of easily configured ‘light touch’ furniture, facilitating highly productive personal focus within busy open-plan spaces.

Multiple configurations Despite its relatively small number of components, Coppice can be configured in a number of different ways to suit the task in hand, the space in which it’s being used, and the privacy levels required.

Sound absorbing surfaces Materials/processes By investigating new and challenging materials and manufacturing processes, the Orangebox design team has created something unique. Coppice’s clean lines and minimal components celebrate the inherent qualities of its materials, creating a refreshing addition to the product landscape in this proven archetype.

Coppice work booths offer a stripped-down palette of materials and colours. Its exposed birch plywood panels, finished with a natural lacquer, are complemented by the Orangebox anthracite pressed polyester felt panels. The felt panels not only have excellent acoustic properties, they also obviate the need for additional foams and fabrics on the main boards.
