hocolate it’s sensual, sexual, and delicious; known the world over for its mood altering properties and palette pleasuring sensibilities. We’re not supposed to play with food but Forplay is a concept near and dear to my heart. It explores the three main ways chocolate is enjoyed: licking, melting, and pouring. Each of the three sets in this concept are made from porcelain and focuses on three distinct gestures shared among chocolate lovers around the world. Using a brush filled with hot, liquid chocolate to draw onto a frozen plate, freezes the chocolate as the “painter’s” art…until it is eaten, of course. Mountain-shaped chocolate that covers the lips of the cup, melts when hot milk is poured on it, creating a nice cup of hot coco. Eating chocolate much like the ritual of eating mussels and oysters from their shells, encourages licking, an expression of sensuality that is taboo in most public places.
