Inspired by Mayans - the first to consume chocolate products along with its use in their ancient sacred rituals of birth, marriage and death; the design is a performance product, displayed in the shop window of an artisanal chocolatier. 

The artisan intrigues the viewer with a mesmerizing show of chocolate production.

The chocolate is melted and tempered before being poured into a unique, geometric two-part poly-carbonate mold. This seamlessly attaches onto the mechanical rotational molding device via neodymium magnets and an innovative interchangeable mold system.

When the machine is switched on, the melted chocolate is rotated within the mold in a steady, mesmerizing kinetic motion. The device spins between ten and fifteen minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the mold. The viewer standing outside the shop window is drawn in to taste samples of previously cooled and de-molded chocolate.

The possibility of molds and therefore the resulting chocolate forms is limitless via the interchangeable mold system. Mold complex geometric chocolates that can be created in no other way! Break and build. Snap and share.

The device references carefully selected materials inspired by industrial machinery and architecture, manifesting a sculptural device and skilled craftsmanship. The mold is held in the centre, the jewel of the device.
