Vpod Launches EM²C at Clerkenwell Design Week with Keynius and Planq.
Vpod is proud to return to Clerkenwell Design Week 2025 with something special: the launch of EM²C, our collaborative showroom experience at 88 Goswell Road with Keynius and Planq.
This year, we’re not just showcasing products – we’re making a statement about the future of workplace design. EM²C (Every Square Metre Counts) represents the convergence of technology, circular thinking, and sustainable materials, brought to life through an immersive space that challenges the status quo and inspires conscious innovation.
From May 20th to 22nd, EM²C will open its doors to architects, designers, workplace leaders, and sustainability advocates looking for next-gen solutions. At its heart are Vpod’s Vflex Smart Lockers, Powered by Keynius, and Planq’s beautifully disruptive materials made from recycled textiles and bio-based waste. We’re also proud to welcome acou.space into the space – bringing not only acoustic comfort but also a powerful sustainability story, with wool-based panels that prove circularity and performance can go hand in hand.
Together, we’re asking and answering the question: Can storage be sustainable, smart, and stunning?
Spoiler alert: yes, it can.
Talks & Sessions at EM2C
Keynotes & Speakers
Across all three days of Clerkenwell Design Week, EM²C will host a curated programme of talks, panel discussions, and interactive sessions. From material innovation to sustainable locker design, these conversations will challenge conventional thinking and spotlight the people reshaping our built environments.
Join us for a fresh perspective on circular design, smart workplace solutions, and the power of cross-disciplinary collaboration.
