The nature of design is to serve an individual need to experience, inhabit and respond to ones chosen space. It is this collective experience that inspired Planex to unite four local designers in discussion to celebrate the launch of the xLocker2.

Set against a backdrop of bespoke handmade lights at Christopher Boots Fitzroy Studio in Melbourne, guest speakers Mr. Boots, Alexander Lotersztain, Tomek Archer and Jean-Pierre Jardel shared thoughts as to how design has guided their practice whilst addressing the way human interaction, collaboration and new technologies shape behavior, sensory experience and relationships.

Designed for the evolving workplace, Planex’s latest addition to their range, xLocker2, is a place to start your day, store your belongings and recharge your personal devices. The xLocker2 offers an individualized steel personal storage solution for flexible, agile, activity based working environments or end-of-journey facilities for commuters and mobile workers.
