Cioccolato

Good morning.  I am busy working away on re-formatting two of my marketing classes and close to the launch of a new digital magazine.  Did I tell you about the project?  You will get to see a sneak peak soon and the full version by end of July.  The topic of the digital magazine is entertaining (at home) globally and I have been working with a really talented graphic designer who has made the visual process a lot more enjoyable than I could have ever imagined.

In my role as marketing lecturer, I have to admit, it is quite nice to have the summer “off” so I have time to think about how to better present material, make my business classes more interactive, creative and fun for my undergrad students in September.  I am surprised by how creative the process is to develop and create lesson plan decks.

On to more visually attractive topics this morning: How amazing is this bakery/pastry shop/decor spot in Mexico City?  It reminds me of the stylish Mexico City macaron place I wrote about two years ago called Theurel and Thomas.  Cioccolato (website under development) is shiny and white with a laboratory-esque feel.  The interiors are kicked up a notch with a heavy dose of  colour, fun and playfulness as a result of the plentiful eye candy around the shop from the pictures on the wall to the center “work bench/island” that looks like it had a bucket of pink paint or icing was dumped down its side leg.   The branding and interiors were done by a fabulous firm named Savvy Studio (based in Nuevo Leon, Mexico) who has also worked on some cool projects like Villa de Patos and Costa Nueva. Why am I not in Mexico City enjoying all of these fun restaurants and bakeries?  As a blogger, the travel list gets longer and longer by the day….

Theurel & Thomas patisserie

Mexico just got a bit hipper with the addition of its first French patisserie dedicated to my favourite sweet, the macaron.  Designed by Anagrama, the Mexican design studio who did the shop’s interior and company branding, Theurel & Thomas looks like it will be a hit in its first location, the affluent neighbourhood of San Pedro in Mexico.  Anagrama did an excellent job with the white space to show off the colourful macaron and certainly achieved an elegant, stylish cafe atmosphere.  Best of luck to the new business. I’m sure it will do well.  Who doesn’t like macarons!?!?
