Blogless: Blog of Design Less Better.

Single Serving Zen

Japan is well-known for producing small, elegant things —everything from Bansai trees to Gameboys— but I had no idea they packaged food in such small amounts. Tokyo Damage Report has a gallery with some examples.

Consider the design of a package for a single piece of food. Is this practice wasteful or does this reduce waste?

Your moment of Zen for the day:
