ORIGINALS COLLECTION
ORIGINS In the past, children had fun lunch boxes and adults had to make do with boring containers. In 2010, we thought it was time to revolutionise the lunch box world. Products in the original collection have been best sellers for the past 9 years and now, to celebrate the 10th anniversary, we have updated them to be even better, whilst remaining true to their original appeal. This collection represents the classic designs that started the journey for us.

Designed to look like a ceramic bowl, the Lunch Box Original includes an inner container as well as a leak-proof sauce pot with a garnish area in the lid, and a stainless-steel fork. Being microwaveable and fully leak-proof, this is one of the most versatile lunch box solutions in our collection.
The Lunch Pot Original consists of two water-tight pots that can be locked together for carrying. The pots have a convenient silicone carrying strap which also holds the stainless steel “spork” (spoon and fork). Separate anything from yoghurt and fruit to noodles and soup. When you’re finished, the smaller pot fits inside the larger pot for easy storage.

CHARCOAL FILTER COLLECTION
100% NATURAL FILTRATION The extraordinary filtering power of Binchotan charcoal has inspired perhaps our most iconic collection to date. What started out as one water filter bottle has developed into a series of must-have filtration products, whether you prefer to drink your water at home, at work or on-the-go.
BINCHOTAN CHARCOAL HISTORY
HOW IT WORKS
It is believed that a form of Binchotan charcoal (sometimes referred to as ‘white charcoal’) was introduced to Japan by a monk and scholar called Kukai 1,200 years ago. It was during the Edo Period (17th century) that a man called Binchuya Chozaemon made it popular.
This type of filtering works using a process similar to a reverse osmosis system. Binchotan charcoal has an incredibly porous surface with tiny cavities orientated in many directions - just 1 gram has a surface area in excess of 250m2 (the size of a tennis court). The positive ions of contaminants in the water (e.g. chlorine) are attracted to the negative surface of the carbon where they are held. In reverse, the charcoal releases its natural minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium back into the water, which softens it and enhances its taste.
HOW IT’S MADE The Quercus phillyraeoides (oak) trees are pruned and the wood is transported to the kiln. It is stored there for 1 month untouched to dry the wood. It is then put inside the kiln and burned until it reaches 1200°C to make it red-hot and carbonised. The Binchotan charcoal is removed and quickly covered with a powder made from earth, sand & ash, and this gives the charcoal surface a whitish hue (explaining the name ‘white charcoal’). The rapid rise in temperature, followed by a quick cooling, incinerates the bark and leaves a smooth, hard surface. This process takes 21 days.
