First of all the “Gherkin” appeared, soon followed by the “Walkie-Talkie and the “Cheese Grater”, and now the “Tulip” will become a new modern landmark in London. It will be surrounded by deluxe buildings in its location right next to 30 St. Mary Axe, better known as the “Gherkin”, on the same street of St. Mary Axe. It will be just 1 metre shorter than the tallest skyscraper in Europe, the “Shard”.

The fragility of a tulip bud reinforced by an internal framework

Design of the viewing tower was entrusted to talented architects Foster and Partners. This building, in the anthropomorphic shape of a tulip bud, will be a deluxe accessory to the iconic “Gherkin” building, which is owned by the same group. The tower is elegant, with delicate lines and takes care to keep its ecological footprint as small as possible. This is why it will also have sophisticated glazing and built-in photovoltaic elements. So-called gondola pods will revolve around three sides of the façade. Totally romantic!

A modern and pioneering design

The design of this building should reflect the true face of the city of London – which is progressive and constantly moving forward. The building should serve visitors as a cultural and social orientation point and it should be 305 metres tall, which is the height limit set by the city so that buildings don’t create an obstacle for aircraft landing at the airport 6 km away. It is now awaiting approval and construction could begin in 2020 with work on this fantastic skyscraper with viewing areas, bars and a restaurant being completed after five years.

A deluxe school in the clouds

The owner of this tower, Jacob J. Safra, intends to establish an educational centre for children aged between five and sixteen years in the building. Rough estimates suggest that up to 20,000 children could take educational courses here every year. As the primary investor, he has set a goal to offer students “classrooms in the clouds” where they can learn about English history and the dynamics of the metropolis. It will certainly be an unbelievable experience to observe the world from such a height!

As well as pralines, boxes of chocolates, chocolate bars, cakes, icing or biscuits, chocolate also has a deluxe modern form. What happens when a master chocolatier creates art?

You can accessorise your outfit with a chocolate hat as well as other items

A chocolate festival is held every year in Paris and the organisers bring us something unexpected, brilliant and shocking every year. You can often expect to see chocolate fashion shows, with outfits seductively melting on the models as they walk down the runway. It is a feast for the eyes and also for the nose, because chocolate is made from fermented roasted cocoa beans. And they smell divine! Will you draw some inspiration from the fashion world and have a handbag, hat or even a dress made from chocolate?

Brilliant chocolate art by Amaury Guichon

Amaury Guichon is not a sculptor, artist or joiner. He is a master chocolatier and magician in one and his chocolate pieces are decadently luxurious! You cannot tell the difference between the real thing and the baked copy.

“I try to create something that has not been done before. I also like mystifying the senses by creating things that look like everyday items, like watches, eggs, a compass, belt, cigar or other items”, says A. Guichon.

White, brown and nearly black are a little cliché now. What about naturally pink “Ruby” chocolate?

Yes, it really does exist! The Swiss cocoa company Barry Callebaut recently introduced a fourth shade of chocolate – ruby. The pink colour is created using the Ruby cocoa bean grown in the region of Ecuador or the Ivory Coast. This chocolate has no added flavourings or colourings and it can be used to make breath-taking deluxe pieces. See for yourselves in our gallery below the article.
