ahh, luscious sensuous chocolate. my top pick is Green & Black's dark 70% chocolate made from organic cocoa beans or if i'm feelin' sassy i'll go for cocoa camino's premium Fair Trade Certified and certified organic chocolate 'chili and spice' [or g+b's ginger followed by espresso].
then again 'nine out of ten people like chocolate and the tenth person always lies.' these are the words of an american cartoonist john g. tullius - love that quote. 'views on chocolate' the world from the perspective of chocolate by acclaimed designer and chocolate curator naoto fukasawa who hauled in about 70 creations by around 30 creators for display this past july 2007. wonder if it tours - might melt no? maybe the idea should tour and each city rounds up 30 design wonders and voila a museum show! that's it, i'm gonna look into this one_ look out t.dot cholatier's. get a load of the detail and some serious chocolate skills below:

this one really turns me on: from the chocolate exhibition at the new 21_21 design sight space in tokyo: play king kong with this miniature "city made of chocolate," imagining yourself crashing through semi-sweet office buildings and flinging about menacing bosses. by naoko tone and atsuyoshi iijima. oh, i see the brains churning ideas already.
and my second fave, runner up yoji ishii`s piece “germination” sprouts a little green stalk from an earthy chocolate bean from the chocolate exhibition.
my heart goes to this one: a british photographer, james mollison`s larger than life photos “cacao pickers” displayed with comments as to their meagre wages and violent environments. alongside roomfuls of mouth-watering objects in chocolate design, it`s a poignant statement about the human cost of consumption.

red chocolate: a strong colour impression, indeed: hisashi hidano`s 'c.red.' [great name!] from the chocolate exhibition.
