Office space design has taken a different turn from how things used to be done several decades ago. From the use of cubicles to clearly defined and separate employees’ working area, the open-plan layout offers a kind of space where everything is arranged in an open, connected functional program. The aforementioned trend does not only enhance interactions and exchanges of opinions among different groups of users, but also coincides with the nature and characteristic of co-working spaces that are seeing greater popularity these days.
While the open-plan layout and co-working space have fashioned what is referred to as an ‘activity-based workplace’, ensuing the working environment in the physical space that is made more public than ever is the dwindling sense of privacy and personal storage. Realizing the importance of an office space that fulfills the demands of main users, WHIZ Smart Storage presents itself as an interesting alternative that provides the answer to such functional requirements.
From the brand’s collaboration with Keycieve, MODERNFORM WORKPLACE gives birth to WHIZ Smart Storage, the smart locker with the Smarter, Customizable, More Options and More Space concept. The four keywords are reflected in the design of WHIZ Smart Storage whose modular system renders a highly flexible storage space which can be adjusted to suit different types of workspaces. The design makes the best of use of vertical spaces in order to maximize the efficiency of limited functional space of an open-plan layout, with the option of altering the materials according to each organizations’ preferences.
Apart from the aforementioned details, WHIZ Smart Storage also combines digital technologies such as a passcode lock system, fingerprint scanning system, or RFID card scanning system, ensuring users the highest level of security. The status of each module of the locker can be controlled and monitored via a smartphone application, making WHIZ Smart Storage an innovation designed to perfectly correspond with modern-day users’ lifestyle, where technology and everyday life are closely intertwined. The sharing and rotation of the locker’s storage units means less money is needed for a company to spend on providing each employee with personal storage. With their personal belongings safe and sound inside WHIZ Smart Storage, the employees of every activity-based workplace are able deliver productivity and efficiency to their fullest potential.
