Get ready to become the talk of the picnic. Inspired by the "tiffin box," a traditional lunch carrier throughout India and Asia, VIVO has paired centuries-old design with modern sensibility in creating this lunchbox. Smart in both style and construction, this sleek box is striking in its efficiency. As a reusable lunchbox, it reduces waste, is compact and easily portable, and keeps foods neatly compartmentalized. And for picnics and parties, its effortless ability to transition from "storage container" to "serving dish" in a pinch is nothing short of genius. Made of 100% melamine. Dishwasher safe. Not recommended for microwave use.
Diane Castellan, VIVO founder and creative director, draws inspiration for her products from the best in both stateside and international design. "I created VIVO to offer discerning women beautiful objects that combine the best of American style with great materials from around the world. I design for the woman who is a bit more international, a bit more individual, and a lot more confident."
The inspiration behind this particular design can be traced to the kitchens of India, where simple, light meals—or "tiffins"—are prepared and delivered daily to schoolchildren and office workers. The city of Mumbai has a particularly unique method of shuttling tiffin boxes back and forth across its streets each day. In a tradition that dates back over a hundred years, families employ professional "dabbawalas"—or lunchbox delivery men—to convey fresh meals to loved ones at work or school. Via an intricate but surprisingly efficient network across the city, dabbawalas collect homemade meals from suburban homes, deliver them to their respective recipients within the city, then return each empty box back to its proper residence to be used the next day.
