February 2006 AMERICAN STYLE WRAP IT UP Don’t even think about buying a heart-shaped box of chocolates for your art-loving valentine this year. Instead, thrill them with a chocolate bar wrapped in art. New York City’s Chocolate Bar, a candy store for adults, and Yoyamart, a trend setting children’s store, have collaborated with 10 designers to create a line of Artist Bars which debuted in November. Participating artists include Gary Baseman, Nathan Jurevicious, Sun-Min Kim and Friends With You. Each designer created a label for a new flavor of chocolate bar, such as Dark Chocolate Espresso, Crispy Rice and Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts. The limited-edition bars are sold as a collection, and are available online at www.chocolatebarnyc.com. A portion of each sale supports children’s art education. |
