Behind the counter, an ebonized wire-brushed wood wall was carefully designed in geometric patterns–inspired by the artist Louise Nevelson. The wall incorporates a hidden door that leads to the commercial Kitchen area. This is where all the magic happens and the finishing touches are made to the handmade, gourmet chocolates. Frozen hot chocolate drinks are mixed as chocolate continuously flows from custom brass faucets. A rich and inspired dusky emerald color used on the exterior and interior unifies the entire design.
The materials include patinaed copper, honed and tumbled marble, brass, glass, onyx, ebonized wood, and hand troweled plaster. Artisans created display pieces for the store; including made locally in Los Angeles, ceramic bowls created by Morgan Peck. Hand-blown glass domes crafted by New York artist Anna Karlin protect and playfully display the chocolate.
