A Chocolate Room

When building a new house, or redecorating an older one, a lot of thought goes into what you want it to look like, what “theme” you’re going for, and what colours you’ll use. You often incorporate styles and objects that are near and dear to you as well. Apparently a few artists in Lithuania love their chocolate, because that’s exactly what they did.

You guessed it. Seven artists, armed with 300 kg of chocolate, have built a room made entirely of Chocolate. Currently on display, the room features all the normal decorative items you’d find in a dining room. The only difference? They’re made of chocolate. White, dark, milk – you name it, they’ve used it.

While  shoppers are being treated to this interesting spectacle of sweets – at least, visually –  they will have to wait until next month to taste a piece of the walls and decor. You can read more (and see more photos) here on the SMH website.
