Now who would have the heart and the stomach to walk over the Candybar Carpet? I can imagine the five second rule going completely out the window on this one, as many observers of this absolutely scrumptious installation would certainly be overcome by a sugar and cocoa craving -- floor or no floor.
The WE MAKE CARPETS team began with a collection of hundreds of chocolate bars of all different brands, working to organize them into elaborate patterns to create depth and texture. The central and peripheral motifs that you'll notice in the Candybar Carpet have been derived from familiar textile designs, creating quite a convincing floor covering display. Set up within a factory in Veghel, Netherlands, this a delicious creation that's intended to delight one sense, to the misfortune of another.
