Custer and Orangebox Introduce One-of-a-Kind Air³ Acoustic Pod to West Michigan Market

Custer has announced it is a dealer for Orangebox, a U.K.-based company that designs and develops office furniture for collaborative and flexible work environments. Custer will sell Orangebox's Air³ Acoustic Pod, which is an innovative, flexible room that can evolve with an organization as its work environment changes over time.

“Our world of work is changing quickly, therefore work environments you design and build today could change three years from now,” says David Driscol, vice president of regional sales at Custer.

The Orangebox Air³ Acoustic Pod is the only pod with an ETL Listed Mark from Interdek. It features modular walls, which allow users to move pods to adapt to changing communication and collaboration needs. It can serve as a room for small meetings, drop-in conversations or a quiet place to work. Technology, lighting and air ventilation are built into the space, making it easy to install. No electrical or HVAC installation is required when assembling it, which saves time and money.

“Attracting and retaining talent is a challenge for many employers these days, and products like the Air³ Acoustic Pod play a key role in keeping employees energized and engaged,” says Todd Custer, Custer president and COO. “These Air³ Acoustic Pods are the ultimate flexible workspace because they adapt to your organization as it changes over time.”

Orangebox is manufacturing its Air³ Acoustic Pods in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Air³ Acoustic Pod works for organizations across all industries, from corporate settings to universities.

Custer is the first Orangebox dealer in the Midwest. Some of its global clients include PwC, HSBC Bank, Fidelity, GSK and Astra Zeneca.

“We chose Custer as a dealer partner because their culture and values align with Orangebox, and along with their highly trained installation services team this creates the perfect alliance,” says Andy Trickey, U.S. regional manager for Orangebox.
