This Compact Customizable Locker System Is The Storage Solution Every Modern Corporate Office Needs

We often underestimate the importance of great office furniture! When in reality we really shouldn’t. We spend the majority of our day sitting on our office chairs or typing away on our desks whether we’re working in our home office or a corporate one. Hence, these pieces of furniture need to be not only comfortable but ergonomic, and aesthetic as well. And, a great furniture design for modern corporate offices would be the Choice Lockers by Narbutas.

Designer: Narbutas

Designed by workplace furniture brand Narbutas, the Choice Locker System is a modular and efficient locker system intended to organize office spaces and keep them tidy and neat. The locker system was designed with the goal of making corporate offices more aesthetically pleasing. The Choice Lockers are available in a diverse range of door, lock, and accessory options. This storage solution is aimed at enhancing and improving any office space, or even a reception area. It can be used in corridors as well since it has a slender and compact footprint.

“Even if employees have permanent workplaces, lockers are useful for keeping common spaces uncluttered,” said the brand. “This maintains order in the office and creates a pleasant, aesthetic environment for both employees and visitors.” The Choice Locker System can be customized, and you can pick doors of diverse heights or materials. You can also pick open cabinet spaces for hanging jackets or cushioned nooks for people to sit and rest in.

What makes the Choice lockers even more personalized is that they are available in lock options ranging from combination locks to discreet electronic locks that can be swiftly opened with a swipe card. You can also pick from a wide collection of colors and materials such as perforated metal, melamine, HPL (high-pressure laminate) panels, and wood veneer. The Choice lockers are also designed to be sustainable, hence they are 97% recyclable, and they can be accentuated with planters to add a touch of green to the space, and enhance the overall indoor air quality. The Choice Locker System is a functional, efficient, and sustainable storage system designed to meet the needs of modern offices and modern officegoers.

Google’s first batch of BufferBox delivery lockers arrives in San Francisco

There may be a few less places to find an Amazon delivery locker after Staples and Radio Shack announced they were removing them from their stores, but Google's competing offering is now getting a boost with its biggest expansion to date. The company announced today that it's bringing its BufferBox lockers to San Francisco, marking the first expansion of the delivery service into the US since Google acquired the Canadian company late last year. Much like Amazon's lockers, the BufferBox service simply lets you direct deliveries to a locker instead of your own address if you don't expect to be at home -- a service that remains completely free for the time being. This latest expansion also brings integration with Google's recently announced Shopping Express service and mobile apps, which can now be used to direct same-day deliveries to a BufferBox locker. Those in SF can find a full list of locker locations at the source link below.

Bloomberg: Staples and RadioShack remove Amazon lockers from stores

Staples and RadioShack withdraw Amazon lockers from stores

Perhaps placing Amazon lockers right within the confines of a couple of its toughest competitors might not have been such a great idea after all. Several months ago, Staples and RadioShack agreed to add the online retailer's lockers inside a few brick and mortar locations so that Amazon customers could choose to pick up their goods at the store instead of missing a delivery, with the host retailer getting a small fee in exchange. According to Bloomberg however, Staples and RadioShack have now decided to yank the lockers from their stores. Staples claimed the Amazon deal "didn't meet the criteria" that was set up, while RadioShack stated that the lockers "didn't fit with its strategy." We can't say we're terribly surprised to see the rivals part ways, but hey, at least you can still find an Amazon locker in select 7-Elevens.

Google’s BufferBox delivery lockers to arrive in San Francisco ‘very soon’

Google's BufferBox delivery lockers to arrive in San Francisco 'very soon'

San Francisco is getting all sorts of delivery options courtesy of its friends in Mountain View. Not only has The City by the Bay been graced by Google's same-day delivery Shopping Express pilot, but it'll soon see kiosks from BufferBox, a startup offering lockers for stowing online purchases, which the search giant acquired last year. A fresh notice on the outfit's website proclaims, "We're coming to California, specifically the San Francisco Bay Area very soon!" Page and Co. haven't said if the lockers will be integrated with Shopping Express, but we wouldn't be surprised if they gave the boxes a prominent part in the service. If you're itching to find out when the containers begin populating San Francisco, hit the source link below to sign up for an alert from BufferBox.

Google buys BufferBox, might give Amazon Locker a run for its money

Google buys BufferBox, might give Amazon Locker a run for its money

Google has just snapped up BufferBox, a Waterloo, Ontario-based startup that offers temporary lockers for online purchases much like the ones recently deployed by Amazon. Instead of 7-Elevens and RadioShacks however, the relatively young startup has only just started a deal to install parcel kiosks in Canada's Metrolinx GO Transit stations. The Mountain View company hopes to keep BufferBox alive through the acquisition, with plans for 100 kiosks in Greater Toronto and Hamilton in the next year. Of course, we can't help but think this could all be part of Google's master plan for a rumored same-day delivery service that might make Amazon a touch nervous. Hopefully this means future Nexus deliveries will be a just little faster, eh?

Order your office supplies from Amazon, pick them up at Staples with upcoming lockers

Order your office supplies at Amazon, pick them up at Staples with upcoming Amazon lockers

Amazon lockers have been popping up at 7-eleven stores and UK retailers, but now they're arriving at what seems like a conflicted destination: bricks and mortar (and online) arch-competitor, Staples. The service allows shoppers who missed a delivery to head over to a locker and nab their packages using a 72-hour code, with the host retailer keeping a small fee in return. But there aren't too many items at Staples that you can't also find at Amazon, so we hope the office supply giant got a sweetheart deal.
