A few years ago, civil engineer Christian Fredrik Furuholmen pursued his dream of becoming a chocolatier by enrolling in culinary school. He went on to found CF18 Chocolatier.
The brand’s visual identity was created by the Oslo-based studio Olssøn Barbieri and was inspired by the shared values of precision, innovation, and craftsmanship in engineering and culinary arts.
Their narrative emphasizes the relationship between engineering, geology, and construction, with stone as the main building block.
This is similar to the transformation of stones from liquid to solid, which is akin to melting and tempering chocolate.
The story connects the aesthetics of CF18 chocolates to Norwegian stones and minerals, replicating their patterns and colors.
These elements, along with deep blind-embossing, a tear-off opening, a monochrome palette, and expressive typography, exemplify contemporary philosophy and modern luxury.
