as maison et objets designer of the year 2015, nendo unwraps a sweet chocolate lounge on the occasion of the
international fair which takes place twice a year in paris.

the spatial design of chocolatetexture is defined by a forest of 2000 8mm-thick aluminium pipes which have
been painted in chocolate-coloured gradations, to create the feeling of being surrounded by a large rippling
molten wave of the delectable goodness. within, a number of the japanese designers known pieces for such
companies as cappellini, desalto, emeco, glas italia, moroso and offecct, which have been custom-colored to resemble
the sweet treat, furnish the lounge and offer a place for maison et objet visitors to take a rest.

the nine distinct chocolatexture designs by nendo

the icing on the cake is the limited edition production of 400 chocolatexture chocolate sets that are being sold
on site. while there are many factors that determine a chocolates taste, most importantly the cocoa used its country
of origin, kind, percentage content the techniques employed by the chocolatier, and the additional infused flavors,
nendo wanted to put his focus on the shape of each morsel of candy. while the composition of ingredients of all nine
chocolatexture designs are identical, and each one measures the same dimensions (26x26x26mm), it is the
distinctive textures that nendo has employed hollow centers, pointed tips, smooth and rough surfaces the
create different tastes.
