Sci-Fi Chocolate Factories

Julia Musienko Designs a Chocolate Factory Worth Wonka's Weight in Gold

— February 15, 2010 — Art & Design
This design for a chocolate factory by Julia Musienko epitomizes everything a modern confectionery store should have--a minimalist aesthetic, abundant use of natural light, and chocolate brown accents throughout. This chocolate factory is fit for Willy Wonka's 2050 comeback.

We've seen a ton of innovative factories at Trend Hunter. After you see more shots of Julia Musienko's design, keep clicking for some of my favorites.

Implications - In today's market, businesses and companies are constantly pushing themselves to usher in innovative and never-before-seen products and ideas. While this certainly does appeal to a large clientele, businesses may benefit by applying modern ideas to traditional favorites. By enhancing an already popular product or item, companies will be able to provide consumers with different experiences.
Trend Themes
1. Minimalist Chocolate Stores - Opportunity for confectionery stores to prioritize a minimalist aesthetic, abundant use of natural light, and chocolate brown accents throughout for a modern and chic feel.
2. Revamped Traditional Products - Potential for businesses to enhance and modernize well-established products, providing customers unique experiences while still satisfying traditional cravings.
3. Innovative Industrial Design - Potential for industrial designers to think outside the box and create imaginative, visually appealing factories and production plants.
Industry Implications
1. Confectionery - Opportunity for confectionery stores and chocolatiers to revamp their stores and products with modern designs, but still provide the same classic sweets.
2. Industrial Design - Potential for industrial designers to innovate and create visually stunning factories not only for chocolate production, but for other consumer goods as well.
3. Architecture - Opportunity for architects to experiment with building designs that prioritize natural light and minimalism for commercial buildings, such as confectionery stores and other small businesses.
