FoldFlat Food Containers Bend Like Origami for Smarter Storage

by Siti Zawani @ 06 Nov 2015

Plastic food containers like Tupperware are great for storing leftovers, but when it comes to stowing away the containers themselves there is no avoiding wasted space and misplaced lids. So UK-based inventor Ben Strange is hoping to tidy up your cluttered kitchen cabinet with a container that folds up flat inside its lid.

Simply dubbed FoldFlat, Strange calls his clever container a coming together of Tupperware and origami. It has a capacity of 1.6 L (54 oz) and is 65 mm (2.55 in) deep, but each end is embedded with strategically-placed folds that allow it to be squashed down into a slim package when not in use. When needed again, simply removing the lid sees it pop back up to its full-size. There is an Indiegogo campaign that kicked off on November 3, with Strange looking to raise £70,000 (around US$108,000). Available with white and turquoise trimmings, early pledges will start at £13 (US$20) for a single container.
