Alessi Lunch Box Food à Porter - Blue

Food à porter is a lunch box designed by Sakura Adachi as a fashion accessory: the name expresses both the function of the object and the stand-out aesthetic value desired/imagined by the designer for this product. A beautiful object, to be shown off, to be worn as a stylish bag. In the project there are also two references to Japanese culture: those bento boxes where the lunch items are arranged in a careful and visually pleasing way; and the lacquered objects recalled by the alternation of glossy and opaque surfaces of the box's three containers.

• The lunch box comprises three thermoplastic resin containers, plus two lids with silicone seals.
• The central container (0.5 litres) is larger than the side compartments (which are both 0.4 litres without their lids, smaller if the lids are used).
• The outer surface of the two smaller containers is glossy, while the larger container has a matt finish.
• The interior surface of all three containers is glossy.
• The three containers are held together by a silicone band available in two different versions.
• A single band that wraps the three containers and allows you to store Food à Porter inside a bag or a backpack, or a double band that ends in two handles and turns the lunch box into a handbag.
• Spacious, compact and extremely versatile, thanks to the division into three containers and the option to use the two sealed lids provided, depending on the type of food you wish to carry: a sandwich with a yoghurt and a piece of fruit, pasta, rice , soup.
• If warming your food, the containers are suitable for microwave heating only.
• On the lids there is a small opening, closed by a small silicone cap, marked with the maximum microwave times.
• Before placing the container into the microwave, the cap must be opened so that the steam produced can escape during heating.
• The cap can also be opened to make it easier to remove the lid that hermetically seals the container.
• On the base of the larger container, there are symbols to indicate performance: suitable for food contact, dishwasher safe, suitable for microwave use.
