Just in time for Milan Design Week, McDonald's taps advertising agency Leo Burnett to create the TableBag. It is a takeout box that is able to transform and function as an outdoor table as well. The project was complete by The Dieline and the 2023 iteration was launched for the design festival.
The boxes appear to be about the size of a tote bag and could be turned into a table with the specialized text that reads 'let me be your table.' It is made to be shared and it holds enough space for two burgers and two fries. Additionally, it is also designed with a built-in pair of cup holders -- the Tablebag is also entirely recyclable.
