Herman Miller's OE1 Workbox, for Hot-Desk Workspaces
Designed by Industrial Facility
As workspaces evolve, both new and old objects are now entering them, to fill needs that workers didn't use to have. There are offices that now have locker rooms, for instance. And the situation where workers no longer have dedicated desks and instead move about a space throughout the day, has given rise to objects like Vitra's Locker Box and Drop Box, designed Konstantin Grcic.
Herman Miller's offering in the latter category is this OE1 Workbox, designed by Industrial Facility. It's targeted at workers in hot-desk situations, and meant to help them shuttle their stuff from locker to desk, desk to meeting, et cetera.
Nothing on it locks, but there is an insert tray, beneath which you can tuck things you might want to keep out of sight.
The stackable boxes are made out of post-consumer ABS.
While the Workbox will be a new workspace form for knowledge workers, there are members of staff who might find it familiar: "The OE1 Workbox is an organiser based on the utilitarian janitor box-tray."

Darn. Can't edit the message. HAHA this cardboard box with bamboo and twine handle (love bamboo) finally has a replacement! From Herman Miller no less. When COVID shut down my firm's office I started working from home. I used this box to keep my "desk tools" organized, and all in one place so I could easily put them away.
Yeah, it’s frustrating that there’s no edit function (that I know of…)
Give it five minutes and Anthropologie will start selling this as a purse.
Love that cardboard box + bamboo! Is that a desk calculator with paper printer in there?
Now that’s cost effective!
