Bend

Steel office locker with a soft, welcoming appearance.

Bend proves that a steel locker can also feel warm and inviting. While traditional lockers often have a technical and purely functional look, Bend stands out with its rounded shapes, refined details and contemporary design. The name Bend refers to the bending and shaping of steel, a technique that forms the foundation of the design. The result is a stylish locker solution that effortlessly combines functionality, craftsmanship and design.

The combination of powder-coated steel, soft lines and a wooden top creates a welcoming character that fits perfectly into modern office interiors. As a result, Bend feels more like a piece of furniture than a traditional locker. With its thoughtful design, Bend offers a stylish solution for securely storing personal belongings in offices, collaboration spaces and hybrid work environments.

Softness in steel

The rounded corners and flowing shapes give Bend a softer appearance than traditional steel lockers. Combined with the wooden top, it creates a contemporary piece of furniture that blends naturally into any interior.

Versatile design

With three different locker layouts, Bend can easily be tailored to the available space and intended use. This ensures a suitable storage solution for every working environment. For an even warmer and greener appearance, Bend can optionally be fitted with an integrated planter. This allows the locker to contribute to a pleasant and inviting work environment.

Easy accessibility

The lower compartments of traditional lockers are often used less because they are so close to the floor. By raising Bend 30 cm above the floor on a steel frame with angled legs made from solid beech wood, the lockers are comfortable to access, while the floor underneath remains accessible and easy to clean.

Secure storage

Store personal belongings safely, neatly and close to the workplace. Bend comes standard with a UGL cylinder lock, providing a practical solution for everyday use.

Bend is designed, developed and produced locally.

Local production: Vepa distinguishes itself by producing everything in its own local facilities. Our own wood, sheet steel, tubular steel, powder coating, wood spray, upholstery and final assembly departments form a complete production circle within a single company. By producing close to the sales market we keep distances small and CO2 emissions minimal.

LCA: By using independent LCAs (life cycle analysis) we reveal the environmental impact of a product. In product development we can greatly improve later designs by carrying out an LCA in the initial phase. In addition, an LCA also provides insight into the main factors responsible for the environmental damage. We then use these factors as starting points for redesign or as focal points for improvement. The LCAs are carried out in accordance with ISO 14044.

FSC® and PEFC: Vepa only uses certified wood. The FSC® and PEFC labels stand for responsible and sustainable forest management. Responsible forest management meets three criteria: it takes account of the environment, respects social aspects (such as the rights of local communities and forest workers) and is economically viable. Moreover, wood is the number one bio-based resource by nature.

TPAC (Timber Procurement Assessment Committee): Timber to be supplied or timber processed in products to be supplied must comply with the Dutch Procurement Criteria for Timber according to the Socially Responsible Procurement criteria. FSC® and PEFC are both systems that have been approved by the Dutch state secretary.

SRP criteria: Vepa complies with the SRP criteria drawn up by the central government. The national criteria for socially responsible procurement (SRP) for office furniture are available via the SRP criteria tool (https://www.mvicriteria.nl/en/webtool).
