# Designer Chocolate Suites Karl Lagerfeld Uses 10 Tons of Chocolate for This Tasty Hotel Room By Peter Vallas | Published 2011-05-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karl-lagerfeld References: [odditycentral](http://www.odditycentral.com/news/karl-lagerfeld-designs-chocolate-hotel-room.html) & [karllagerfeld](http://www.karllagerfeld.com/) Famous [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-beauty) designer Karl Lagerfeld has taken a break from designing purses to make his mark on this one-of-a-kind hotel room. Working with [Magnum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnum-x-designer-puzzle) ice cream, Karl Lagerfeld used 10 tons of Belgian chocolate to transform an unnamed hotel in Paris into a place in which you can both eat and sleep. One unique part of the hotel room by Karl Lagerfeld is the fully chocolate man on the bed who is enjoying a Magnum ice cream bar. The man is said to have been inspired by male model Baptiste Giabiconi, who is a favorite of Karl Lagerfeld. I'm not sure if it would be the most comfortable night's stay, but if you ever got hungry, you could take a bite out of the headboard. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Chocolate Hotel Rooms:** The use of chocolate in hotel room design presents an opportunity for immersive and unique culinary experiences. - **Food-inspired Interior Design:** Integrating food elements into interior design offers a playful and unconventional approach to hospitality. - **Fashion and Food Collaborations:** Partnering with renowned designers to create edible installations provides a new way to merge fashion and culinary art. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** Hotels can explore new avenues of guest experiences by incorporating innovative and edible design elements. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can find inspiration in food and collaborate with culinary artists to create immersive spaces. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can extend their influence by collaborating with food brands to create unique and edible installations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashion-Designer Chocolate Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-chocolat-maxime-frederic.md) - [Inaugural Luxury Furniture Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karl-lagerfelds-namesake-brand.md) - [Screen-Printed Chocolate Tiled Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-room-1.md) - [Robotic Fashion House Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-vivienne-sur-malle.md) - [Chocolate-Crafted Intricate Luxe Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-bag.md) - [Mansion-Topped Surreal Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marison-heler.md) - [Anti-Luxury Hotel Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chopard-1.md) - [Homage-Paying NYC Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyc-flagship-store.md) - [Luxurious Smartphone Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-iphone-15-pro-max.md)
