The kit comes with the bento box-style MB Original Outdoor Lunch Box along with the [Opinel No.08 Folding Knife](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oknife) and the Picnic+ insert set, which has a [fork and a spoon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-utensil-set). The handles on the Opinel utensils are accented by a French mountain range scene, which is also incorporated onto the top of the lunch box for a touch of cohesive style. The anthracite and mustard colors used across the kit give it a stylish yet earthy aesthetic. The Monbento x Opinel On-the-Go Meal Kit is available now from Opinel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 15% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Collaborative Meal Kits:** Collaborations between meal kit and utensil brands offer all-in-one solutions for convenient eating. - **Bento-style Lunch Boxes:** The bento box style continues to be popular for lunch boxes due to its practical and customizable shape. - **Compact Utensils:** Portable and compact utensils are becoming increasingly popular for on-the-go meals. ### Who This Affects Most - **Meal Kits:** Meal kit companies can collaborate with utensil brands to offer comprehensive and unique meal solutions. - **Kitchenware and Utensils:** Brands specializing in kitchenware and utensils can explore collaborations with meal kit companies to expand their product offerings. - **Office and Outdoor Products:** The popularity of portable bento-style lunch boxes and compact utensils offers opportunities for companies to expand their product lines in the office and outdoor product sectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interchangeable Component Cutlery Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opinel-picnic-cutlery-kit.md) - [Convenience-Focused Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-bundle.md) - [Meal Preparation Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memobento.md) - [Dependable Rustic Camping Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opinel-grilling-set.md) - [Sleek Compartmentalized Lunch Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venn-bento-box.md) - [All-Inclusive Leakproof Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-box1.md) - [Limited-Edition French Knife Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opinel-no08-master-collector-box-set.md) - [Kid-Focused Meal Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-box.md) - [Japanese Bento-Inspired Stationery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bento-jot.md)
