Rococo Chocolates
Rococo Chocolates began the Real Chocolate Revolution in the UK in 1983, in London's King's Road. Chantal Coady, fresh from art school, knew that there was space for some love and creativity in the area of retailing chocolate. The shop was a culmination of unrequited childhood dreams of chocolate and the make-believe world of being a shopkeeper.
Inspired by the definition of the word Rococo: "Derived from the French word rocaille, meaning ornamentation, shell and scroll work, asymmetric. Florid to the point of bad taste." Chantal ran with this idea, and Rococo Chocolates transformed the experience of buying and consuming chocolate into something of an art form. The emotional interaction between chocolate and the buyer was understood for the first time. Customers flocked to the shop to find the finest chocolates in town, served with love and humour. The second shop opened in Marylebone High St in 2004, and the third due in Knightsbridge/Belgravia in December 2007.
