Japanese designers Nendo have created chocolate pencils for Tokyo patissier Tsujiguchi Hironobu. The pencils come with a sharpener so chocolate shavings can be grated on top of pastries and desserts.
Chocolate-pencils is a collaboration with patissier Tsujiguchi Hironobu, the mastermind behind popular dessert shops like Mont St. Claire and Le Chocolat de H.
Tsujiguchi created a new dessert based on his impression of Nendo
after conversations with us, and we designed new tableware for them.
We wanted our plates to show off the beauty of meals and desserts like a
painting on a canvas. Based on this idea, our “chocolate pencils” come
in a number of cocoa blends that vary in intensity, and chocophiles can
use the special “pencil sharpener” that comes with our plate to grate
chocolate onto their dessert.
Pencil filings are usually the unwanted remains of sharpening a pencil but in this case they’re the star!
