In reality, it is a [solid cylindrical block](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-table) of chocolate that has been carefully layered to reveal different geometric patterns as it is shaved down. To take it a step further, each shape revealed throughout the process of shaving has a different flavor. Created by Dutch furniture designer and architect Gerrit Rietveld in collaboration with [Studio Wieki Somers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-chalices) and chocolatier Rafael Mutter, the patterned chocolate shavings are as artistically delicious as it gets. The accompanying time lapse video gives people context as to how big Chocolate Mill really is. Not to mention that it is mesmerizing to see the blade at work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Artistic Chocolate:** Opportunity for innovative chocolate creations that blend art and gastronomy. - **Geometric Patterns:** Potential for designs incorporating geometric patterns in various industries. - **Time-lapse Videos:** Disruptive opportunities for visually captivating time-lapse content creation. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gourmet Food:** Potential for unique chocolate creations to attract high-end food enthusiasts. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity to utilize geometric patterns in furniture and decor. - **Social Media Marketing:** Incorporating time-lapse videos in marketing strategies for increased engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Limited Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ed-ruscha-x-andsons.md) - [Fine Art-Covered Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-cacao-artbars.md) - [Topographical Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-in-california-bar.md) - [Stylish Artistic Christmas Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-eight-the-design-edition-by-walala.md) - [AI-Made Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bar.md) - [Laser-Engraved Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-engraved-chocolate-bars.md) - [Filled Chocolate Coffee Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocha-melts.md) - [Chocolate Filament 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocoa-press-3d-printer.md) - [Artist-Inspired Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beatrice-wood.md)
