Lead user

Haruo – a young man with cerebral palsy who enjoys fishing, shopping, movies, web surfing and fast food, especially his favourite teriyaki burgers.

The issue

Fast food has some advantages for Haruo – there is no washing up and no need for cutlery but the separate wrappings for each component are flimsy, create piles of waste and make it difficult for him to eat with dignity.

Any Pack

Any Pack is a three-piece modular pack suitable for eating in or taking away. Made from insulated paper, the envelope will accommodate the different food portions, keep them separate and warm and allow each to be accessed in turn. When the meal is finished the paper can be used as a napkin to wipe the mouth and the pack is suitable for eating in or taking away.
