Bento Bix – Create your own bento! An interactive library installation that invites children aged 8+ to explore Japanese food culture through play. By Caterina Mariotti, Helena Schenk, Moe Miyahara

At each station, kids collect and compose traditional dishes by crafting elements and engaging in hands-on activities. Co-designed with children from ISB and developed in response to a brief from DR, Bento Bix encourages cultural exploration through creativity and interactive play. The format can easily be adapted to other cultures, making it a playful tool for intercultural learning.
