Orangebox

Orangebox started with the introduction of Giroflex into the UK in 1973, securing a license agreement with the Swiss manufacturer, leading to construction of a production facility in Hengoed, South Wales.

Giroflex maintained ownership until 1998, when Mino Vernaschi led a management buyout and began a process of reinvigoration and product investment.

This began with the G64 task chair and the expansion into soft seating, resulting in the company’s rebranding and the formation of Orangebox in 2002. Orangebox remains a privately owned company.

Since its launch, it has become recognised as one of the UK’s most progressive, innovative and successful office furniture companies.
