The act of "eating" extends beyond mere consumption of food; it necessitates both time and space. However, in modern society, the separation between workspaces and dining areas isn't always straightforward. Sometimes we eat in restrooms, or even at our desks. Such dining experiences in relatively unclean places can have negative effects on users. To address and remedy this issue, we envisioned the lunchbox 'Bendo' for them. Due to diverse lifestyles, there's been a rise in people seeking lunchboxes to enjoy their own prepared meals, tailored to their health needs such as dietary restrictions or anti-aging diets.
