After almost two years, the global work-from-home experiment has accelerated the shift towards more flexible workplaces. Some companies are embracing the hybrid home-office configuration, while others are redesigning their offices to be more agile and customisable, enabling teams to work in whatever part of the building that best suits their needs. Greater flexibility is leading to situations where more office storage is needed – not less – even if only for short periods of time.

In the post-COVID world, everyday routines are changing to make the office a safe and productive environment for returning employees. Companies are carefully reviewing every office function, looking for ways to be flexible, safe and future-proof. More than just a storage solution, the new Work Aisles range by CSM Storage and Filing Solutions helps make this flexible workplace a reality.

The range was developed by Victoria Harris and is manufactured by CSM, Australia’s premier supplier of high-quality commercial storage systems suitable for today’s activity-based offices, the Work Aisles smart storage space divider range features lockable shared storage in either single, double or triple units – also known as Uno, Duo, Trio – that are perfect for seamless side-by-side banking and space management.

Designed for flexibility, the Work Aisles range offers a fusion of personal storage, office storage and utility storage in a variety of combinations. Whether it be the Uno, Duo or Trio, Work Aisle modules can be adapted to mix lockers, hinged door cabinets, bookcases, or touch-free rubbish and recycling cabinets in a variety of sequences to meet the storage needs of each work zone. Their robust laminate tops can double as a collaborative bench space, or they may be specified with planters for a biophilic element.

Reconfigurations of workspaces require equally smart storage solutions to keep up with changing organisational needs. Providing form and function, CSM Work Aisles can be used to create aisles within a space, offering separation and privacy, while also defining different workplace ‘neighbourhoods’ in which team members can work together and safely store their personal items in close proximity. Easy to disassemble, reusable and fully up-scalable, each Work Aisle unit can be adapted easily to changing floor configurations or to suit the needs of a growing team.

It takes an average of 23 minutes to recover focus after a disturbance, even the smallest interruption or inconvenience can cost half an hour’s work. Workplace neighbourhoods encourage more collaboration, increase productivity, and enable space diversity and efficiency. At the same time, social distancing protocols can still be followed with strategic placement of Work Aisle modules, secure storage and touchless rubbish disposal.

The Work Aisles range continues CSM’s over 60-year tradition of delivering innovative storage solutions and consistent premium standards across the commercial, education, government, health, defence, and museum markets, and to the highest Green Star-rated fit outs in Australia. CSM Work Aisles are Australian designed and manufactured, which means higher quality, greater flexibility, shorter lead times and sustainability.
