India: the home of the lunchbox
In India, the packed lunch is a deeply rooted tradition. Many people eat their own food at lunchtime from a three-tiered lunchbox known as a dabba. Traditionally, a courier called a dabbawala collected it from the employee's home and delivered it to their workplace. Dabbawalas have a long history in India. In 1880, during British colonial rule, many locals did not enjoy the food served by the colonial rulers. An Indian businessman then started a service that brought lunchboxes prepared at home by wives to their husbands at work. The Lunch Pot by Black + Blum is reminiscent of the design of a dabba. The two-part lunchbox lets you carry and separate noodles and sauce, muesli and yoghurt or a main course and dessert. Both containers are microwave-safe, dishwasher-safe and BPA-free.

Lunchboxes – a matter of taste
Breakfast or lunch should be something you look forward to, not something you just have to get through. Food that's delivered or bought on the go rarely matches fresh, home-cooked food. As a result of the to-go trend, lunchboxes are back in fashion – and not just in the school playground. For many people, a lunch bag is now an essential part of their work kit. That's the idea behind the Brown Paper Bag lunch bag by Luckies. It looks like a simple brown paper bag from the outside, but there's more to it: the Brown Paper Bag is tear-resistant, waterproof and keeps food warm or cold.
Fresh meals all year round
In summer, the fridge is the most fought-over item in the office, alongside the fan. Why? Everyone who has prepared their lunch wants to protect it from the heat. Insulated containers or lunchboxes with an ice pack help. For a modern take, try Menu's reinterpretation of the lunchbox. As well as space for drinks bottles or sandwiches, the fabric lunch bag has room for a small ice pack that keeps your lunch fresh.
Healthy school snacks instead of tuck-shop sweets
Getting children to eat a healthy meal during the school day isn't easy. Sweet temptations are often waiting at the school tuck shop. A child-friendly lunchbox makes it a little easier. The Lunch Box 8 by Lego has the classic look of the popular toy brick and easily holds several snacks. Particularly practical: Lego's functionality has been kept, so the lunchboxes stack firmly on top of each other just like the bricks. If you prefer something simpler, the Take a Break lunchbox by Rosti Mepal could be the one for you. It holds four sandwiches.
Separate compartments – no soggy mix
In summer especially, many people like to brighten up their lunch break with a fresh salad – if only it weren't for the journey. Over the course of the day, tomatoes, cheese and dressing make the other ingredients soggy. What should be crisp at lunchtime ends up as an unappetising, mushy mess. That doesn't happen with the Black + Blum lunchbox. The Box Appetit has an insert so you can keep different foods separate, or heat one portion in the microwave while the rest of the meal stays cold. It's also leak-proof and free from harmful substances.
