Michel Rojkind completed a chocolate museum near Mexico City this March. However, rather than a museum, it is more of an advertisement and a showcase facing the highway. Behind the new building lies a factory of the company Nestlé. The museum is intended mainly for children, who are to prepare for a journey into the world of chocolate in a small theater, which means a tour of the factory. After the tour, at the end of the 'worm', there is naturally a souvenir shop where visitors can buy a supply of sweets to take home.
Rojkind's design, named 'Alebrije rojo' (red fairy creature), is a 300-meter-long snake whose body is made up of giant polygons. The building, covering an area of 630 m², hovers above the terrain on slanted concrete legs. The furniture also draws from the theme, and the seating resembles giant chocolate bars (likely a design by Rojkind's main interior designer Héctor Esrawe).
