Premiere of the new Locosystem After a year of hard work by the entire team: scientists, designers, technologists, craftsmen, analysts, and social research specialists! We would like to thank the entire team and the guests with whom we were able to celebrate last week.

▪ As part of the development of Karol Starczewski's Locosystem project, we increased the number of system functions from 4 to 10, which resulted in the design and production of 20 unique pieces of furniture. The project took into account the needs ofuniversal design.

▪ The new features we have added to Locosystem are the result of a detailed diagnosis of furniture users' needs conducted by our team.

▪ Locosystem is a complete modular, polymorphic furniture system that will adapt to your changing needs and the space you wish to furnish.

▪ It enables the construction of individual furniture and the arrangement of unusual living spaces within a single, universal, multifunctional and design-coherent system.

New Locosystem features are now available. WELCOME!

We cordially invite you to a meeting over wine combined with the premiere of new LOCOSYSTEM functions and the presentation of the results of the research and development project carried out by Digitouch over the last year thanks to EU funding.

Thursday, December 6, 2018
6:00 PM
New Model Showroom
Różana 6, Suchy Las near Poznań

We cordially invite you to familiarize yourself with the results of our work and the possibilities of LOCOSYSTEM http://locosystem.pl/

RSVP to info@nowymodel.org

LOCOSYSTEM is an innovative, reconfigurable, multifunctional furniture system designed by Karol Starczewski. LOCOSYSTEM modular furniture is a dream come true for all lovers of functional interiors, especially those who value modular solutions that allow them to quickly and easily reshape and transform their living spaces, just like using Lego blocks. It allows for the efficient combination of functions, precisely tailored to the user's needs, additionally arranging the entire living space with a uniform type of furniture. LOCOSYSTEM is ideal for public spaces, offices, and libraries.

The system is based on a patented pin connector – a screwless mounting system that allows for easy assembly of individual components without the use of tools and their placement in any location.

Originally, the system consisted of triangular and rectangular platforms and shelving units with the ability to freely arrange shelves vertically and horizontally. Nine different shelf shapes—straight, curved, wavy, and corner—allowed virtually unlimited freedom in furniture configuration.

Today, we are proud and happy to present the next elements of the system with which we have expanded the LOCOSYSTEM family: a new wall-mounted and free-standing shelf, an adjustable work desk for children and adults with accessories for organizing the space, a multifunctional table with variable height and tabletop surface, an RTV module, two variants of wardrobes for storing clothes and three variants of chests of drawers, thanks to which you can build a wardrobe tailored to the user's needs, a fold-out sofa that is also a full-fledged, comfortable bed, and a pull-out two-level bed.

The simplicity of LOCOSYSTEM, visible not only in the form of furniture but also in the assembly system, offers solutions unavailable on the Polish and global market in an affordable and design-friendly form.

The project "LOCOSYSTEM POLYMORPHOUS FURNITURE SYSTEM" was co-financed by European Funds under Measure 1.1 of the Smart Growth Operational Programme "R&D projects of enterprises", Sub-measure 1.1.1 "Industrial research and development work carried out by enterprises"„
