The World Chocolate Master, the most prestigious world competition for chocolate masters commended Zoo Studio/u00a0to design the line of trophies for the edition of 2015. For their/u00a0proposal, the studio/u00a0used noble materials, glass and wood, both worked at hand. /u00a0Inside the glass, a cavity was/u00a0generated by using a real cocoa fruit, which let the negative of the fruit inside a melted glass. This cavity presents a duality, depending on the angle of vision it can be seen the positive or the negative of half a cocoa fruit. The glass has impurities in its interior, small bubbles and changes in its opacity, and also its outline are/u00a0organic. The organic, natural factors are very important, and this is why the trophies were/u00a0handmade. This fact always reminds of the origin, the fact of getting the raw material as the nature provides it, before being manipulated and processed./u00a0The main side, where the hole and the logo are, is perfectly polished, whereas the opposite/u00a0sides aren't. This fact introduces the concept of human intervention, the work of the chef on the raw material./u00a0The trophies have a finishing of gold leaf, silver leaf, frosted glass or natural glass, depending on its category. There is also a line of trophies for the subcategories with natural glass. The logo and the text are laser-engraved directly on the wood. The production process lasted 2 months to be able to produce a total of 96 trophies for the national finals and for/u00a0the great final held in Paris on October 2015.
