When Pixar Animation Studios needed to solve persistent acoustic challenges in their open-plan creative workspaces, they partnered with OrangePiel to develop an innovative solution that would honor their artistic legacy. We created over 200 custom acoustic panels featuring high-resolution reproductions of concept art from beloved films including Finding Nemo, Up, and Monsters Inc., transforming functional sound absorption into an immersive gallery experience that inspires creativity throughout their Emeryville campus.

The Story

Project Overview

A Creative Partnership

When Pixar Animation Studios approached OrangePiel, they had a unique challenge: transform their office spaces into immersive environments that celebrate their artistic heritage while solving acoustic problems.

Working closely with Pixar's facilities team, we developed custom printed acoustic wall panels that showcase the beautiful concept art from their most beloved films. The result is a workspace that inspires creativity at every turn.

The Challenge

Pixar's open floor plan offices were experiencing significant sound issues, with conversations and ambient noise creating distractions throughout their creative spaces. Traditional acoustic solutions felt too corporate for a company known for imagination and storytelling.

Our Solution

We created over 200 custom acoustic panels featuring high-resolution reproductions of concept art from films including Finding Nemo, Up, and Monsters Inc. Each panel was carefully printed to capture every brushstroke and color nuance of the original artwork.

  • Custom fabric-wrapped acoustic panels for optimal sound absorption
  • Archival-quality printing to preserve the integrity of the original artwork
  • Strategic placement throughout hallways, meeting rooms, and collaborative spaces
  • Fire-rated materials meeting California commercial building codes

The Impact

The installation transformed Pixar's workspace into a gallery celebrating their creative legacy. Noise levels dropped significantly, and employees now work surrounded by the very art that inspires their daily contributions to storytelling.
