French designer Elsa Lambinet present a new way of eating chocolate called Sweet Play. By using a mix & match attitude she created a modular chocolates shell can be white, milk or dark chocolate with a slot in the front for wafers, nougat, biscuit or caramel, and a depression in the top to hold nuts, fruit or liquid.

Lambinet describes her project as follows:
“Adaptations allows for intuitive combinations, yet allows for freedom and range of choice to the participant.

A modular design allows for three types of chocolate that can support two added ingredients: black chocolate has a hole to contain fruit, milk chocolate has spaces for nuts, and white chocolate is surfaced to hold liquids, and all three contain a hollowed compartment for inserted flavored wafers, perhaps nougat, biscuit or caramel.

Participants get to mix and match ingredients for hours and hours as they gorge themselves on custom confectionery goodness.”

“Chocolate-pencils is a collaboration with patissier Tsujiguchi Hironobu, the mastermind behind popular dessert shops like Mont St. Claire and Le Chocolat de H. Tsujiguchi created a new dessert based on his impression of nendo after conversations with us, and we designed new tableware for them. We wanted our plates to show off the beauty of meals and desserts like a painting on a canvas. Based on this idea, our “chocolate pencils” come in a number of cocoa blends that vary in intensity, and chocophiles can use the special “pencil sharpener” that comes with our plate to grate chocolate onto their dessert. Pencil filings are usually the unwanted remains of sharpening a pencil, but in this case, they’re the star!”
