Metal Lockers from Mustard Made

Imagine you’re surrounded by antique lockers. Peeling paint, the gooey remnants of stickers, and doors that just don’t quite open or close correctly anymore. That romantic nostalgia of school days, sporting glory, and simpler times might be fun, but sometimes it’s not quite practical. Enter Metal Lockers from Mustard Made. The sister duo behind the brand gathered and bottled the reminiscent aesthetics and mashed it together with modern functionality. The result is beautiful, practical, charming, and versatile metal lockers that answer every need in the modern home.

Mustard Made Magic

The magic of Mustard Made undoubtedly lies in their ability to capture the original look and feel of the classic locker and then adapt it into a piece of furniture you’d be more than happy to integrate into your modern designs. From the vented front doors to the squared edges, fun color palettes, and simple legs, it’s hard not to see the perfect blend of school-hallway and refined contemporary living.

Sustainable Metal Locker Designs

As the brand expands across the world, sustainability and the impact of the lockers has become a top concern. Never wavering from their dedication to good materials and design, Mustard Made adopted a policy of transparency throughout every step of their journey to a more sustainable practice.

Inspired by the rescue of an old locker from being thrown away, the company certainly takes to heart the concept of preservation, recycling, reusing, repurposing, and robustness. The robustness comes from the longevity of each piece. Metal, by nature, is a material easily recycled and repurposed, but the founders wanted more from their designs; they wanted them to be a foundational piece that continued to evolve and grow with the user.

New Kids on the Block

Though Mustard Made has only been on the modern design scene since 2017, they have made huge strides, faced massive challenges (hello, 2020), and found many purposes for their business. From donating profits, to reimagining the small item shipping game, to developing metal lockers that are hard not to love, the Mustard Made mission is a spark hope and joy for the future of contemporary home storage.
