Trailshare stacker is a food container designed specifically for sharing food on outdoor adventures, allowing people to share their meals without the hassle of carrying multiple containers of food or using disposable plates, creating unnecessary waste. Designed by Nottingham Trent University student Zahra Achda, Trailshare Stacker allows people to share the joy of having a meal together out in nature in a convenient way.

You can’t haul a carload of picnic gear deep into the wilderness! — often during nature walks, people pull out their own packed lunch, eating in isolation. Unlike a picnic where food is nicely displayed creating a warm and convivial atmosphere, carrying multiple tupperwares and a dining set to a remote trail is nearly impossible. As a result, meals on the trail become a mere necessity, a means to an end, rather than an opportunity for connection and enjoyment.

The Trailshare Stacker’s main feature is a part of the container that unravels like a flower and transforms itself to a serving platter. This innovative design creates easy access for sharing — everyone can easily reach in to sample and share food much like they would around a dining table.

Walks and hikes are among the most popular outdoor activities in the UK. It’s a great opportunity for families and friends to enjoy the fresh air whilst spending quality time.

“I want to make the whole experience of sharing food out on a trail as convenient and hassle free as possible, yet not lose that aspect of warmth and togetherness.”

Mealtime during walks is an opportunity to not only rest and regain energy, but is also the perfect time to gather around, chat, and munch away. The designer’s aim was to enhance this experience, making eating during walks more intentional and enjoyable, allowing food to bring people closer whilst enjoying nature.

“I want mealtime during walks to be something people look forward to, not just to satisfy hunger, but for the pleasure of spending quality time with loved ones. This stackable container invites everyone to gather around, savor the moment, and enjoy each other’s company over a good meal.”
