"Out-of-the-box" French chocolate experience
Produced for a Corporate client in Switzerland as a gift for and its new Country Manager for France. All the things the person will hopefully miss of Switzerland: The Swiss mountains and Swiss milk chocolate.
Topped up by future French macarons, a painters palette, a heart made out of tiny roses and of course the Eiffel tower- all made out of chocolate!
