How might a packed lunch fit beside a laptop, travel at any angle, and turn any surface into a table worth sharing?

3D-printed slats on cloth wrap the stack, then lie flat as a raised platform.

Legs That Carry, Then Stand
The cylindrical ends meet on top as a handle, then roll under as legs at the table.
[ HANDLE → LEGS ]
[ CHOPSTICK CASE ]
Utensils Locked In
A chopstick case slides in beside the legs and locks them, so nothing gets left behind.

Interviews and act-outs with three students who pack lunch from home.
