ÉcorcePackaging
UX/UIÉcorce is a high-end artisan chocolate brand that celebrates Africa’s rich cacao heritage and its flavor profile. The name Écorce, meaning "bark" in French, symbolizes the natural origin of chocolate and the deep connection between cacao trees and their environment. This project focuses on creating a modern yet bold packaging identity that highlights the unique characteristics of cacao sourced exclusively from Africa’s top chocolate-producing regions: Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Nigeria.
The design concept features a minimalist aesthetic, bold visuals with striking color palettes inspired by the region’s landscapes and cultures, and bark-inspired patterns showcasing textures from native trees, reinforcing the brand’s authenticity and storytelling.
Écorce’s distinct bark-inspired patterns create a flexible visual system that seamlessly extends beyond the chocolate bar. By anchoring the brand in the natural textures of African cacao origins, Écorce can maintain a strong, recognizable identity while expanding its product line.
The cacao spread jar and cacao nibs pouch both utilize these unique patterns, translating the brand’s premium, modern aesthetic across new formats. This consistent visual language allows Écorce to grow into a full suite of artisanal cacao products, each item unified by bold color palettes, refined minimalism, and storytelling rooted in origin.
