Designing a Chocolate Bar

The design challenge: How to design a mouthwatering chocolate bar?

The chocolate bar’s shape does not have any functional purpose but it should invite the customer to eat and look appealing and delicious.

The brief I received was clear – the new design should be original, cool  and aesthetic. It should not look neither overly serious nor childish.

My research focused in the chocolate’s shape through the next questions: 

  • What makes certain food look appealing or sexy? 
  • What kind of shapes immediately create the urge to bite\ eat?
  • What kind of interesting looks of chocolate bars already exists?
  • What kind of other products have an interesting look?

The creative phase was next:

I presented graphic sketches of ideas that will answer the brief and showcase my unique design style. 

Out of the varied ideas 4 different designs were selected – I designed a chocolate bar 3d printed mold so they could be observed one next to the other. 

The final design was chosen to lead the brand’s unique aesthetics and style values.
