Alessi Lunch box Yellow Plastic material. Dimensions: L 19 x W 10 x H
13.5 cm – Capacity: 1 0.5 L central container + 2 0.4 L side containers
(1.3 litres in total). Created by the Japanese designer, Sakura Adachi, Food à
porter is a lunch box designed as a fashion accessory. The name expresses both
the object's function and its decisive aesthetic value: a wonderful object to
showcase and carry like a sophisticated bag. Food à porter contains your
lunchtime meal or a snack like you have prepared it at home, allowing you to
then eat it wherever you want! In the office, at school, in a park, etc. Food à
porter is part of Japanese culture: the bento box in which lunch is placed with
care and in a visually attractive way and lacquered objects are evoked by the
alternating shiny and opaque surfaces of the three containers which make it up.
This lunch box is made of three compartments made from thermoplastic resin with
two lids equipped with a silicone seal. The central container (0.5 litres) is
larger than the two side ones (0.4 litres). Sizes may be reduced if the lids
are used. This lunch box is spacious, compact and extremely versatile due to the
division into three containers and the option of using the two lids with seals
depending on the kind of food you want to bring: a sandwich with a yoghurt and
fruit, pasta, rice, a soup, etc. The three containers are held together by a
silicone strap. Two different straps are included: a single band which surrounds
the three containers and allows the lunch box to slip into a bag, and a double
band which ends in two handles and turns the lunch box into a small bag. To
reheat the food in the containers, only a microwave can be used. On the lids
there is a small opening, sealed by a little silicone stopper, on which the
cooking times to not exceed are indicated. Before inserting the container into
the microwave, you need to open the stopper such that the steam can leave during
reheating. The little stopper can also be opened to make removing the lid which
hermetically seals the container easier.
