A Slim, Vertical Design Sure to Turn Heads at the Office

Books, laptops, files… when you think about it, everything in a bag is put in and taken out vertically. Yet, lunch boxes are placed horizontally. This means they can be difficult to store in a slim bag… Many people must feel this way.

What if a vertical lunch box, with the smallest possible base area, allowed for flexible arrangement within your bag? That's the idea behind the "ojue" lunch box.

"ojue" consists of three modular units. Considering "flexibility in quantity," you can change the stacking order from small to large according to your daily condition. By adjusting the included strap, all combinations can be securely held. The lower and middle tiers each hold 300ml. Though it looks slim, the full set offers ample capacity, even for men.


The package with chopsticks includes a special jointed pair of chopsticks (resin). The chopsticks can be stored in the recess of the inner lid for the top tier, allowing them to be carried together with the main body. Furthermore, by removing the top and inner lids, it can be used in the microwave, which is a welcome feature for enjoying a warm lunch.

This seemingly simple lunch box is a design born from observing everyday actions. It will surely support your resolve to "start bringing lunch from the new fiscal year."

As part of a campaign until Sunday, April 11, 2010, you can purchase the version with chopsticks for 2,800 yen at the METAPHYS website for the price of the version without chopsticks, 2,300 yen.
