Nendo has created 9 different types of chocolate. While each are the same size, not a single piece from the Chocolatexture collection look alike. That’s because Oki Sato, who leads the Tokyo and Milan-based firm, rethought the concept of chocolate by focusing on texture.
“There are many factors that determine a chocolate’s taste,” says Sato, referring to factors like the origin of cocoa, the percentage used, and the various different flavors.
Each of the 9 chocolates were inspired by an onomatopoeic word from the Japanese language that describes texture. The chocolates correspond with words like
“toge toge” (sharp pointy tips), “sube sube” (smooth edges and corners) and
“zara zara” (granular, like a file). Chocolatexture was created for the
Maison & Objet trade fair that took place last week in Paris. 400 limited edition Chocolatexture sets were created and were sold during the event in Paris at what’s being dubbed the “Chocolatexture lounge.” (syndicated from
Spoon & Tamago).

Violaine & Jeremy is a graphic design and illustration studio based in Paris formed by Violaine Orsoni and Jeremy Schneider. These two have collaborated on album covers, design and layout of
Influencia magazine and identity projects. I found that some of their best work is with the graphite drawings of quirky animals with beards of wildlife and other fun characters. You can see more of their work on
