Design Is Everywhere

Read how he perceives his surroundings

Do you find yourself constantly thinking about your surroundings and how to improve them?

"Yes, it’s just completely natural for me—it's almost a professional habit. I’m always noticing things, whether it's a table in a restaurant, a streetlamp, or a car. Everything affects me, and I love it when all these elements work together to form a harmonious whole. When that happens, it makes me feel comfortable and has a positive impact on my thoughts and mood."

Have you had any prior experience with a project like this?

"To be honest, this was my first real experience with designing for public spaces. That's what made it so interesting for me to dive into. It's such an important field that has a huge influence on people's daily lives."

Could you briefly describe your project?

"I designed a new cladding for a parcel locker. I wanted it to look clean and elegant while also respecting your brand’s existing design. I also put a lot of emphasis on functionality, which is why I included a roof and some light wind protection. The interior lighting is a special feature, integrated through the gaps between the cladding sheets. I think this detail is crucial: it’s practical, provides enough light at night, and at the same time, it looks playful and distinct."

Did the topic of parcel lockers interest you in a specific way?

"Yes, because it’s a purely functional product that people need, but they often don't see it as a positive addition to public spaces. That's why I started thinking about ways to improve the aesthetics. For example, by integrating plants or putting the boxes in shop windows. These solutions could improve public perception, but they also bring new challenges. I believe that cities and delivery companies should think more about this topic and set clearer rules about where and under what conditions these boxes can be installed."

What was your impression of our company? 

"I found your company to be very likable. I see it as modern, innovative, and focused on quality. The atmosphere is pleasant, and your approach to the whole issue seems well thought out. I believe you will continue to grow. After this experience, if you were interested in further cooperation, I would be more than open to it."
