The post-Covid office environment has posed new opportunities and challenges for workers, employers, and designers who seek to accommodate them. Office brands like the San Francisco-based Pair take it upon themselves to create solutions to enhance flexibility and efficiency in the workspace.

Pair identified that the post-Covid office environment includes four types of workers—"full-time, part-time, hybrid, and temporary." As such, the company's new [locker system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mustard-made) seeks to accommodate the changing foot traffic in the office. Called [SOMA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-sofa-systems), the system is flexible, impactful, and well-integrated. It is compact enough so that it can fit "hundreds of lockers on a single office floor," it does not pose any hindrance to individual or collaborative workflow, and it encourages [green spaces in the office](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopo) as the lockers can be "a base for tables and planters."
