3D-pure chocolate figures from IMAKR & ROCOCO at the Harvey Nichols

London department store

IMAKR installed the rocolate mini-tie-up Cabin Harvey Nichols in London's Knightsbridge for 5 weeks from 17 March 2014 to 22 April 2014.


Anyone who wants to taste a miniature self made of milk or dark chocolate can drop by the iMakr 3D scanning booth in between times or reserve 5 minutes of scanning in advance at a convenient time for you. For the next month, Harvey Nichols will be running a campaign to create 3D chocolate "me"s as a Mother's Day gift.

The process of scanning is to create countless photographs of you from every possible angle. More than 40 professional digital cameras are installed on the walls, which take pictures simultaneously and at high resolution. All received photos will then be uploaded to create your 3D model on a computer.

3D scan and 3D model of the girl in the booth "Rococo Chocolate Mini You"

Then, your 3D model will be sent back to iMakr, where the 3D printer will make a plastic "Mini You" figurine. Once completed, the plastic figurine will be shipped to Rococo's South London headquarters. This is where your figure will be molded in food safe silicone, then filled with melted Rococo Chocolates dark or milk chocolate and then chilled. Finished Chocolate Mini You figurines will be delivered to the customer's address or can be picked up from the fifth floor of the Knightsbridge Supermarket or iMakr, Clerkenwell, 10 days after scan day.

Chocolate bust in Rococo branded box

For £99 you can order six miniature busts made of solid chocolate. For £169 you can order 12 busts plus £10 for packaging and shipping. The photographs below show sample busts.


Dailymail journalist Annabelle Cole visited the scanning booth last week and was asked to order a six-inch life-size figure of herself, a chocolate Oscar of sorts. "My figurine is the first of its kind, and at an incredible £1,000 price tag, it's a treat only for the most dedicated yet fabulously wealthy chocolate lovers," writes Annabelle. When she finally received her ordered busts and figurine, packaged in one of Rococo's signature blue and white boxes, she looked forward to Mother's Day to show her gift to her mother.

She forced a smile that mothers get when they don't want to hurt their children.
