Konstantin Grcic's Locker Box and Drop Box for Vitra - Core77

At first glance these Locker Boxes could be mistaken for steel toolboxes. In fact the design, done by Konstantin Grcic for Vitra, consists of recycled/recyclable polypropylene sides, aluminum tubes providing the lengthwise structure and polyester textile panels with welded seams slung between the tubes serving as the walls.

And while these are meant for carrying tools, they are the tools wielded by knowledge workers:

They come with nametags so you can keep track of yours.

I really like the aesthetic, and the construction is clever. It appears that there are three aluminum tubes with circular cross-sections, fastened at the topmost point and the bottom two corners of each side. It then appears that the unseen tubes that the fabric panels are slung between are racetrack-shaped in section, and require no fasteners but are captured by bosses on the inside of the side panels. (At least that's what I'm guessing based on this photo below.)

Rounding out the pair are a larger, double-decker Drop Box:

The price points mean it would be better if your employer, and not you, ponied up for these: The Locker Box small, Locker Box and Drop Box run $310, $325 and $565, respectively.

$300 for an open-top tote bag that doesn't close, or secure any of your items... or fold flat when not in use?....  seems like a silly waste of money...Home Depot (Stanly, Husky, Craftsman) sells better options for less.. 

I did this when my office started "smarter working" (hot desking)We were given a small locker for our stuff, then we were expected to find a desk to sit at during the day. If you were going to be away from the desk for more than an hour, the rule was that you pack up to allow someone else to use the desk.I hated it!But, to make life easier, I took an old stanley tool bag to work, it was the perfect size to fit the locker.My colleagues poked fun at me at first, but then I started to see more and more people doing the same. :D
