In collaboration with Andie Niebling
Lagra
A biophilic locker system for office spaces.
Lagra is a locker system which provides a natural pattern in office spaces. The patterns and moss panels connect office workers back to the natural world.
Each locker provides individuals with a personal space where they can store their belongings, whether they don’t have a desk or work in a co-working space.

Biophilic Design
Humans have an innate connection to the natural world. We tend to have a visual preference for organic and biomorphic forms and benefit physically and psychologically from being in close proximity to aspects of the natural world.
Research
Exploring current biophilic design in the workplace:
Initial Visual Inspirations:
Insights from Surveys, Observations and Ethnographic Interviews:
52% have difficulty finding proper storage space for their personal belongings in the office.
Studies show that visual connections with nature:
- Lower blood pressure and heart rate
- Improve mental engagement + attentiveness
- Positively impact attitude + overall happiness
“Because offices are moving towards collaborative ‘we’ spaces, it is important to still consider ‘me’ spaces.”
Ideation + Concept Development
How might we bring a touch of warmth and nature into the office in a useful way to create a personal and productive workplace?
Further Visual Inspirations:
Form Development through CAD Rendering:
