Louis Vuitton Vivienne sur Malle Edible Robot
You can purchase treats created by pastry chef Maxime Frédéric in Louis Vuitton's flagship stores in Paris, Singapore, and Shanghai. You can now add New York to the list with the opening of Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton in the Maison's 57th Street outpost. To celebrate, Frédéric has created Vivienne sur Malle, an edible creation that combines elements of candy making, trunkmaking, and horology. The piece finds the brand's mascot Vivienne standing atop an LV trunk, which hides a system of over 20 interlocking gears, turned by a milk chocolate crank, which causes the figure to move. Handmade in Paris, each one takes over three hours to assemble and weighs over two and a half pounds.
