KIN.D
About
“Kin-Dee” can be loosely translated from Thai to “eat good” or “eat well”. In Thai culture along with many Southeast Asian cultures, communal bonds are strengthened through food. Whether eating from the bustling street food stalls of Bangkok or dining on the roundtable with family, food is the social glue that bonds us together.
KIN.D is a mobile food waste reduction system, in the form a kitchen on wheels. It is equipped with a single powerful burner, a built-in cutting board, a prep surface, an articulating dining area and two spacious drawers for tools and ingredients. This project aims to bring kindness towards each other and our shared environment by offering a new way to cook and dine together.
Challenge

Solution
A mobile food waste reduction platform in the form of a kitchen on wheels that aims to reduce waste through education, cooking and dining together.
