Today’s workplace is about crafting inviting and inspiring spaces where people choose to be and feel empowered to work in ways that suit them best.
Introducing Campers & Dens by Orangebox, the office neighborhood system that is inspired by the charm of campervans and campsites. On a campsite, there is an intuitive concept of privacy that everyone seems to understand. For example, when the door to a camper is closed, you knock or walk by, and if you are sitting under your awning reading a book, people say hi but gesture before stepping in. These are the types of privacy layers that inspired the design of Campers & Dens.
5 layers of privacy on a campsite:
1. Open areas of the campground are accessible to all visitors, allowing for free exploration and wandering.
2. A pair of camp chairs is typically set up for a private yet casual conversation between campers.
3. Gathering under the awning usually signals a semi-private meeting space, offering some shelter and privacy.
4. When the door is open, it indicates that visitors are welcome to knock or simply walk by without needing an invitation.
5. A fully enclosed space with the door closed signifies that privacy is desired, and it is understood that interruptions are not welcome.
Orangebox used these intuitive signals to transform interior architecture, moving beyond traditional enclosed rooms. Which effectively bridges the gap between open-plan and enclosed spaces, enhancing collaboration in the workplace
Campers & Dens are designed for intuitive use and easy navigation through various spaces. They allow you to effortlessly shape your workspace the way you want it, offering layers of privacy with campers, cabins, and awnings, along with the flexibility and choice provided by a variety of configurations.
The translated layers of privacy from a campsite to the workplace:
1. A semi-private gathering under the awning requires a gesture before entering to ensure you are welcome.
2. A private sanctuary, by invitation only, indicates that the person is focusing and prefers not to be disturbed.
3. If the door is open, visitors are welcome to knock or walk by; if the door is closed, it signifies a desire for privacy.
4. In open areas, use your intuition to determine the appropriate times to engage and interact with others.
Now let’s take a deeper look into the Camper & Dens products:
