A Hotel Suite Made of Chocolate

Last Thursday fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld unveiled a hotel suite made entirely from chocolate. Lagerfeld, head designer of fashion house Chanel, teamed up with French master chocolatier Patrick Roger to create the room.

Lagerfeld designed all the room's elements which Roger then sculpted from 10 tons of chocolate. The room contains a desk, a lamp and a sculpted figure of Lagerfeld's favourite muse, model Baptise Giabiconi draped on a chocolate bed and holding a chocolate ice cream bar. Sweet.

The event was organized by ice-cream brand Magnum to promote a new chocolate ice cream. Interestingly, Lagerfeld eats neither chocolate nor ice cream.
