With clients and collaborators that include Apple, Google, Nike, Selfridges, Cos, and the Barbican, the breadth of projects featured is wide-ranging, and includes the pair's edible installation for Wallpaper* Handmade last year, 'The Structure of Chocolate', created in collaboration with Belgian chocolatier Pierre Marcolini and marquetry specialist Toby Winteringham. Photography: Jessica Klingelfuss
