At first glance, the Q chocolate bar looks like a typical lounge chair. To be honest, it still looks like that to me. Yet it is in fact an edible chocolate bar. It was simply designed by the famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
The actual chocolate, however, was concocted by Samantha Aquim, chef and head of the chocolate division at Aquim Gastronomia. An experiment in gourmet desserts, the Q chocolate bar is 77 percent cocoa and comes with a gold-plated utensil and storybook.
