Chocolate Coin Factory

Wieden + Kennedy
2013

The window of 16 Hanbury Street has played host to some strange and intriguing things. Christmas 2013 was no exception. Metal work artist Ben Hughes was comissioned to help us construct a giant victoriana steam punk chocolate cain making machine, that turns £1 coins into chocolate, Wieden + Kennedy coins. The installation was animated using an array of servos, linea actuators and DMX-controlled lights. And custom coin dispensors were fabricated using a laser cutter. A bespoke OpenFrameworks app was created to control the whole thing. Creative credit - Toby Treyer Evans, Laurie Howell.
