These chocolate pencils are the results of a collaboration between two genius designers, Japanese architect and designer Oki Sato and patissier Tsujiguchi Hironobu. Again, what excite me the most are the physical interaction and co-creation encouraged in this design, something that is rarely honored in nowadays design in my opinion. The subtleness of tableware (as evident as in most Japanese tablewares design) effectively displays the gourmet chocolate. The “pencils” come in with a variety of cocoa blends and flavors. The chocophiles can use the special pencil sharpener that comes with the plate to grate chocolate onto their dessert.
If your experience of learning to draw and sketch before becoming a designer is like me, i.e., sketching until head drops, the love and hatred emotions associated with the learning experience and physical interaction with pencil and pen sharpen must have been embedded deep in your memory. Thanks to the sweetness of this dessert, sharpening a 'pencil' has become a co-creating process and reward is of course the visually beautiful and tastily divine chocolate!
