The Self-Opening Package is revolutionarily intuitive. As its apt name gives away, it opens up all on its own when good and ready. That is, when the food has been properly prepared and is ready to be served. Although the Self-Opening Package's spiraling shape looks more decorative than functional, the design makes it more sensitive to its environment, which triggers its main purpose.
Designed by Tomorrow Machine, a Stockholm-based studio founded by Hanna Billqvist and Anna Glansén, the Self-Opening Package is just the first of many exceptional products that have been introduced. From the Microgarden Growing Kit to the Expanding Bowl and This Too Shall Pass, Tomorrow Machine has made it a priority to provide people with products steeped in science and sustainability, their core beliefs.
