Green Room Retail Ltd. was commissioned by Cadbury to enhance their UK retail factory outlet environments.
They came up with a design for a three metre high 'chocolate factory' and approached Artem to help them turn their idea into a physical reality.
Crafted in Artem's West London workshop, the miniature factory depicts different stages of the chocolate making process.We follow a humble cocoa bean on his journey through grinding, mixing and moulding until he emerges wrapped and ready for the shops.
Using real chocolate was out of the question, as it would melt.Therefore, Artem had to use special resin to produce lifelike cocoa beans, cocoa crumb and finished chocolate bars to emulate the different stages of production.
The miniature factories themselves had to be highly durable, as they have to work 364 days a year.They are finished in high quality metals, including specially modified copper rivets that copy the look of the real factory machines. |
