Design with purpose. Storage with meaning.
A modular workplace storage system built from the bottom up — designed to shape smarter, softer, more architectural environments.
Reimagining Storage for the Modern Workplace
Great design begins with questioning assumptions. When we set out to create Arraya alongside Gensler, we didn’t start with lockers — we started with space itself. What if storage could shape space rather than just occupy it?
The modern workplace had evolved: fluid, human-centered, residential in its warmth. Yet storage remained static — hidden in service corridors or treated as purely functional infrastructure.
What emerged from two years of development is something different: storage that participates in the architectural language of space. A system that creates rhythm, defines zones, and brings tactile warmth to open environments.
A collaboration in craft and precision
Arraya represents a unique partnership between Gensler’s architectural vision and our manufacturing expertise. Working with leading design minds, we obsessed over every detail — the gentle radius of each corner, the proportion of every module, the way light catches the edge of a frame.
This wasn’t about decoration. It was about fundamentals: How does storage meet the floor? How do proportions create calm? What makes a system feel integrated rather than imposed?
The answer lies in thinking like architects while building like craftspeople.
The Principles Behind the Architecture
01
Build From the Ground Up
Arraya begins with architectural grounding — a base zone that establishes stance, proportion, and presence. Every configuration starts with this foundation, ensuring stability and visual clarity.
02
Honor Human Experience
Soft materials, natural finishes, and opportunities for greenery introduce warmth and life into the workplace. Arraya invites connection, comfort, and a sense of belonging.
03
Enable Flexibility Without Complexity
A modular kit-of-parts adapts from single units to full spatial runs — providing designers freedom without overwhelming them with technical decisions.
04
Celebrate the Vertical Rhythm
Three intentional zones create a balanced cadence — a vertical language that feels calm, intuitive, and beautifully structured in any environment.
Universal Design Principles
Dignity in Every Detail
From the first sketch, accessibility shaped our thinking. Not as compliance, but as philosophy. Every proportion, every reach range, every handle option considers the full spectrum of human needs.
The system’s modularity isn’t just about flexibility — it’s about equity. Vertical configurations for space efficiency. Horizontal runs for universal access. Mixed orientations that acknowledge diverse needs without announcing them.
This is storage designed for everyone, without exception.
Redefining the art of storage
Surfaces that invite touch
Arraya’s palette reflects a shift in workplace materiality — from cold and technical to warm and tactile.
FENIX® Ultra-Matte Surfaces
Soft to touch, resistant to fingerprints. These aren’t just practical choices — they’re sensory ones. Surfaces that feel as good as they look.
Wilsonart® Woodgrains
The warmth of natural materials without the maintenance burden. Each grain pattern selected for its ability to bring life to open environments.
Purposeful Details
Acoustic backing that dampens sound. Cork linings for personalization. Integrated power for always-on devices. Whiteboard surfaces that turn storage into collaboration zones.
Shaping the modern workplace
Arraya doesn’t hide. It defines zones, creates destinations, and brings architectural presence to open environments.
In a world of hot-desking and hybrid schedules, it becomes the constant — a personal territory in shared space. The planter-topped configurations become meeting points. The whiteboard backs create impromptu collaboration zones.
This is storage that participates in the life of the workplace rather than simply serving it.
A New Language for Lockers
Arraya introduces a different conversation about workplace storage. One that values presence over invisibility, warmth over efficiency alone, and architectural integration over mere functionality.
When storage is designed with the same care as the spaces around it, it transforms from equipment into environment.
