TECHOCO (Original Title : 技理チョコ - Giri Choco) is a product concept of chocolate.
I made this work for the Valentine's Day. On the day people in Japan give chocolate to someone as a token of appreciation and they call it 義理チョコ(Giri choco). When I was playing on words, I thought up an idea to make chocolate which has some technological elements, specifically electric circuits and named it TECHOCO.

DESIGN

The visual concept is based on electronic circuit symbols and modular electronic blocks. Each chocolate piece is designed as an individual component, allowing the sixteen pieces to be rearranged into different circuit-like compositions and messages. The package extends the same electronic aesthetic through a structured grid, technical labeling, and metallic foil details, giving the product the appearance of a compact electronic device rather than a conventional box of chocolates.
