The design brief challenged participants to create a chocolate jewel—a fusion of delicacy and ornamentation. In response, I conceived a spiral-shaped piece inspired by traditional representations of the Tower of Babel. This sculptural form not only evokes a sense of ascent and complexity but also transforms into an interactive experience: the spiral can be gradually broken and savored while worn as a piece of edible jewelry. An ephemeral object that lives between architecture, symbolism, and taste.
The concept was winner as one of four selected entries in the “Precious and Delicious” Food Design initiative, curated by ADI Food Design Delegation – Italy. As part of this recognition, the piece was realized and publicly displayed at two prominent international venues: the Venetian Resort Hotel & Casino during the JCK Show at Sands Expo, Las Vegas (May 30 – June 3, 2008), and later in Hong Kong on September 11, 2008.
