Cocoa Therapy - Packaging Design

  • Owen Friend

The chocolates that Cocoa Therapy makes are leagues apart from the average supermarket-bought bar. Each chocolate is made using the finest ingredients, with every chocolate shell filled, piped and painted by hand. Vicky, the founder, wanted cost-efficient packaging that was as eye-catching and high-end as her colourful chocolates. I developed bespoke packaging to house 16 chocolates and a concealed flavour map. It is protective enough for transit but gives each chocolate space for its design to stand out. This was a collaboration with local illustrator Sophie Potter, who captured the designs featured on the chocolates and transformed them into painterly design elements that could be used on the boxes. It was a really fun project to work on (and it tasted good too!) Illustration by Sophie Potter Photography by Alex Sedgmond
