Storage at The Heart of Office Design
Many articles have highlighted the importance of intelligent office design and how poorly
designed or uninspiring workspaces can affect stress levels, reduce productivity, impact on
overall performance, and impede efforts to attract the best people.

Office storage products have always been an essential component in office furniture design, typically on a strictly functional level and
hidden out of sight. Recent changes in market forces have meant that office storage is increasingly being integrated into the heart of
office design. This in turn has led to a dramatic transformation in the market for lockers, epitomising how a well-designed functional
product can seriously impact on the overall aesthetics of the modern office.
As key players in the office furniture market respond by launching NEW locker ranges in a variety of sizes and colours, it is perhaps more
appropriate to consider the elevated importance of lockers from a bespoke design perspective.
When it comes to integrating lockers into an office fit-out project,
functional considerations include; height, capacity, security, mobility,
personalisation and power source. Additionally, lockers can be
used to; enhance branding, inject colour, create zones and enhance
workplace aesthetics.
Office hubs incorporating lockers, create zones
and honour brand values.
As the trend for lockers to be customised is explored even further by end
users, it is important to seek cost effective ways to add value for clients
by presenting them with inspiring and unique design ideas that meet
their storage needs without breaking the bank. Combining different
materials and finishes, and injecting vibrant colours and graphics are
good ways to exploit design principles to get the desired results.
