The English Group has always kept a scrapbook of resources that we find inspiring. We now include this within our website in the form of a blog and, from now on, will add to it on an ongoing
basis. The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English
Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

More Chocolate

I am conscious of The English Groups attempt at healthy eating lately, so just for some encouragement… here’s another chocolate post!

 

Dutch designers at studio Wieki Somers have collaborated with chocolatier Rafael Mutter to create the ‘Chocolate Mill’. Shown as part of the Confrontations exhibition at the Vitra Design Museum, the project celebrates a global weakness, the sweet tooth.

Chocolate is shaved off a cylindrical block of layered patterns which are a mixture of flavours, and shades.

 

The instrument was designed by adapting a machine used mainly in Switzerland as a cheese slicer and references the stories and history surrounding the candy. One example of this is the geometric motifs from Rafael Mutter’s bonbons. By turning the mill the audience become witness to a kaleidoscopic effect in which African Bobo masks emerge, which cocoa-bean pickers believe have a special power to bring a good harvest.
