The Sunflower is a concept for lunchbox that would heat or chill your food and drink to whatever temperatures you desire. Using solar power the lunchbox would be able to achieve this in an eco-friendly way.

The Sunflower Lunchbox Concept has been created by Industrial designer Edita Barabas to help you eat your lunch at the temperature you desire without requiring energy hungry equipment. The lunchbox comprises of 3 food compartments and a compartment for a flask for liquids. Each compartment can be set to a different temperature, this allows you to have hot pasta in one section, cool salad in another without any issues.

The Sunflower Lunchbox Concept has a set of 4 petal shaped solar panels that can be collapsed down when not in use. These panels are what leads to the concept’s name, spreading out like a flower to capture than sun and, like any good sunflower, should be positioned towards the light. The electricity produced is stored in a battery, ready to be used at the push of a button. When the food compartments are closed, a circuit is created allowing the heating and cooling to occur. Once the segments are separated out the circuit is broken, allowing you to take out the food safely.

The Sunflower Lunchbox would allow you to be able to take food with you anywhere and be able to eat it at a suitable temperature. The lunchbox can be used outdoors or indoors, be it to supply you with a tasty lunch in the office or when out camping. By using solar power the lunchbox would provide you with an eco-friendly way of storing foods at correct temperatures.

A designer by the name of Teo Song Wei has come up with a solar lunchbox that uses solar energy to keep food warm. Rather than letting last night’s dinner get cold by the time you eat it, this lunchbox keeps your food warm. Great if you like a curry for lunch, rather than sandwiches!

Although this is only a concept design, it’s an interesting idea. However, personally I’d be more interested in a solar lunch box where the contents are kept cool. There are many foods that you might have on a picnic (fruit, jelly, drinks, chocolate) that you’d want to stay cold. If there was a solar-powered cooling picnic hamper, then I’d be really interested.
