The topic of this diploma is a chocolate factory and flagship store for the company Niemetz, where the visitors can glance into the manufacturing process of the delights. The firm was founded in the late 19th century.
Their now existing coffee shops in Linz and Salzburg as well as their whole company image is based upon the vibe of the monarchic coffeehouses.


The idea is to develop a formal language drawing on the neoclassic ornaments and explore the different material conditions of chocolate that vary from liquid to solid and also have characteristic surface and structure qualities.
As the molded chocolates are simultaneously surface, ornament, the project shows that ornament as frieze, cornice and relief are not only decorative, but have the potential to become structural and volumetric while keeping their qualities like softness and plasticity.

The intention is to dissolve the ornamented graphical surface to a structural ornament.

Hi Julcsi
Great post, there are a lot of striking images here.

I am editing an upcoming issue of Architectural Design and we would like to discuss with you featuring one of your lovely images. Perhaps we could discuss it via email
Kind Regards
