Based on the country’s proud tradition of using lunch boxes, Norway-based product development company Unikia’s ‘Compleat Modular’ lunch box set is a fine way to bring your lunch out in style. With four different waterproof boxes—including a large rectangular box for large food items such as sandwiches, two smaller square boxes and a miniature rectangle box—the Compleat Modular is a fully adaptable carry-around set.
Priced at approximately $39, the lunch box set also comes with a tight adhesive sleeve that wraps around all four boxes when stacked with each other. The sleeve, when opened, can double up as a place mat, and also comes with an integrated chopping board. If one chooses to take a small lunch with them, the three smaller boxes can be all placed within the one large box to ensure its contents remain unseparated, effectively saving space inside your bag.
