Storage units both big and small are undergoing some drastic changes as they become more necessary in people’s everyday lives; these examples of locker innovations are some ways in which they have been tweaked to meet the needs of contemporary individuals. Whether integrating technology to charge cellphones while resting inside them or simply embracing individuality by allowing people, particularly students, customize their lockers, the changes range in a variety of ways.
As the latter shows, these examples of locker innovations focus as much on style as they do on practicality. By improving their design aesthetically and not just functionally, the surrounding areas are improved as well. In the case of students, this can ensure that they take better care of the school premises.
With the recent innovation in storage, it will be a good idea to list down how lockers have changed over the past years and the many types that have appeared as well.
Doggie Storage / Pet Lockers
Blogger Henrick Eriksson recently wrote a post about some pet lockers he’d seen at a grocery store in Oslo, Norway. The pet lockers, or Hundehiet (which translates to Dog Den in Norwegian), allow pet owners to shop without having to worry about whether their furry friends are safe outside.
The pet lockers are metal containers in which you can put your dog so that it stays safe and dry while you go shop at the store. According to Eriksson, the cost of stowing your dog in one of the pet lockers is 10 Danish kroner, about $1.72 USD. This is a small price to pay to ensure your dog is safe from potential pet thieves — dog theft is a big problem in Europe and in the United States, says PSFK — or inclement weather.
