This edible container allows you to eat every last piece of your lunch. The bread based take-out box was created by Greek designer Kostantia Manthou. The zero waste product is ideal not just for working professionals or students bringing lunches, but for picnics or any other meal on the go as well.
The edible container not only provides you with a more filling meal, it eliminates the need for environmentally unfriendly paper plates or cardboard boxes. It also means not having to carry a reusable container home at the end of the day.
KI•RA and The Edible Tower (Of Containers) debuted at Milan Design Week 2014 as part of the 'This is Very Dangerous' exhibit.
