For your lunchtime pleasure, I'm presenting a series of my favorite bento boxes. Bento are Japanese home-prepared meals served in special boxes, usually eaten for lunch at work or school. These days, bento enthusiasts from all over the world share their creations on Flickr.
This impeccable bento looks like it belongs on some mid-century modern tabletop in the Design Within Reach catalog. Creator Vingt_Deux has filled round, stackable bento containers with (from left to right) 1) grapes, radish and rice cubes, tomatoes, 2) tomato, Japanese cucumber and mozzarella salad with basil, and 3) white bean and chickpea spread decorated with pepper tops, along with sliced peppers and mini-pitas.
