Black+Blum

Black+Blum creates lunch boxes, bottles and table accessories designed in its London studio. Its products aim to cut food waste and disposable plastic.

History

The London studio Black+Blum has existed since 1998. It designs objects for eating and drinking that are meant to last, weighing each material and detail.

Co-founder Dan Black, born in Yorkshire in 1974 and trained in industrial design, drew the brand’s first lunch box and first bottle in 2014. Since then the work has focused on food waste: at least 1% of every order goes to charities that save food headed for the bin.
