A PLACE TO CREATE MEMORIES.

Max Chocolatier Event & Design Studio

There are as many definitions of home as there are people on the planet. We pack them carefully into our hearts and carry them with us as we travel through life. Home becomes a unique collection of what we sense, experience, reflect upon and remember.

Welcome to our home, The Max Chocolatier Event & Design Studio, situated in Lucerne, Switzerland. If home is a journey, this is where it begins .

The journey is my home.”

“

– Muriel Rukeyser

SENSE

As crafters of artisanal Swiss chocolate, we are intimately acquainted with the art of indulging the senses. The role played by chocolate in your event is perfectly tailored to your guests. It can be as subtle as the scent of warm chocolate in the background, or as participative as a full tasting with one of our chocolatiers. We cater to all the senses. Be it through thought-provoking art to appreciate or plush sofas to melt into.

EXPERIENCE

Different rooms in our home lend themselves to different occasions. The choice, or combination, is yours. Our devoted, internationally minded events team boasts extensive experience and an unparalleled eye for detail, ensuring you a smooth chocolate-filled journey; whether you desire an exclusive wine selection to pair with your chocolate workshop or a fresh flower arrangement to accompany an intimate candlelit catered dinner.

REMEMBER

We wish your event to linger in your memory long after the final candle has flickered out or the last of our delicately crafted truffles has been savored from our hand-painted porcelain dishes. We love to create personalized chocolate gifts as souvenirs of a special occasion. Perhaps you’d like us to organize a photographer to capture your “journey”? Even better, maybe you’d like to book to return to the place that has felt like your home for these precious hours.

REFLECT

Our Event & Design Studio is a haven of enchantment, where laughter, introspection, discourse and reflection intertwine. Adorned with carefully curated treasures from Switzerland and beyond, our space boasts exquisite works of art that will bewitch your senses as much as our handmade truffles delight your palate. Each item has been handpicked to create a space that delights the eye and sparks the imagination. Lose yourself in a world of wonder and delight, where beauty and creativity reign supreme. Come and experience the magic for yourself, and allow us to transport you to a realm of unbridled sensory pleasure.
