The team at Allen Jack + Cottier Architects had their sandwich, wrap, and baguette platter delivered to their Chippendale studio earlier this week, and with thirteen platters going out, this was clearly feeding a full room rather than a quick desk lunch.
What made this order practical was how well it suits the way architects actually eat during a working day. No one is sitting down for a proper break. Food gets picked at between conversations, grabbed during a brief pause, eaten standing next to a plan pinned to the wall. Sandwiches, wraps, and baguettes hold up to exactly that kind of use. Nothing needs reheating, nothing falls apart after sitting out for twenty minutes.
Thirteen platters is enough to make sure nobody is circling back to an empty tray before the afternoon is done.
