The Omiebox is a healthy lunch box alternative to more traditional and basic designs. Although similar to bento-styled lunch boxes that compartmentalize different foods, this design incorporates a section that insulates hot food so as to not affect the other cold or room temperature dishes. Not only does this make the healthy lunch box more versatile, it is more convenient as well so that the main meal doesn't have to be warmed before eaten.
Designed by OmieLife, a studio based in San Francisco, California, the healthy lunch box is targeted towards children. Through these different compartments, it brings attention to healthy eating habits. The fun and bright colors also suit younger audiences. Nevertheless, the Omiebox can be used by adults as well for many of the same reasons.
