Cacao Husk Sculptures

We know the problem

Omnom and Theodóra Alfreðsdóttir joined forces at Icelandic Designweek to explore the potential of cacao husk, a byproduct of the cacao bean. This collaboration resulted in chocolate sculptures made from cacao husks. The aim was to establish a circular system between the byproduct and the end product, as well as highlight Omnom's inspiration for its flavors — which includes "nostalgia, Icelandic nature, and culture." The partnership also sought to emphasize the genesis of cocoa beans.

Guests were invited to embark on a chocolate journey, sampling bonbons inspired by Icelandic landscapes and culture. Each bonbon reflected Theodóra's distinctive forms and drew inspiration from her intimate memories of Iceland.

Consumers interested in unique culinary experiences and sustainable practices may be drawn to this collaboration. The fusion of art, nostalgia, and gastronomy offers a multisensory exploration of Icelandic culture and nature, making it an enticing opportunity for chocolate enthusiasts and admirers of creative collaborations.
