Public, Leisure or Office Furniture
Winner: Coda
by Orangebox
Sponsored by Colebrook bosson saunders
Coda is a range of furniture: chairs, stools and tables designed for use in the office or leisure settings.
Its sleek profile and contemporary efficiency offers a rich palette of functions, materials, finishes, bases and upholstery styles ensuring designers and specifiers are offered the widest choice to customise the product most suitable for their specific project needs.
The Coda chair has an ergonomically dimensioned and fully upholstered shell, which features a gently curved S-shape to offer integrated lumbar support.
The Coda stool also features a low, supportive ergonomic back and its compact dimensions mean it can easily be used within diverse environments – perfect for impromptu meetings and socialising., while the Coda café/meeting table is designed to complement the chairs and is suitable for use within meeting and dining scenarios.
The same structural design is carried throughout the Coda collection, with the same extensive range of finish options.
The judges said:
‘Crosses boundaries of hospitality furniture and contract office furniture convincingly with different options for base, arm, fabric and upholstery finish that allow organisations to maintain the same theme across office, breakout, social and dining spaces.’
