Famous Chocolatier, Compartés, has built a new 6,000 square foot headquarters in Hollywood. The new Factory Shop will host tastings, special events, and provide for private tours. This project is the second collaboration with Krueger Architects and Compartés owner Jonathan Grahm. Grahm created the vision for the store’s retail and production spaces and the architectural design was executed by Krueger Architects.
Saturday Night’s episode of the long running and iconic late night comedy troupe, SNL brought a visit by Barbie™ to the Compartés Chocolate Shop in Westfield Century City. The funny skit shows Barbie with the Compartés store front behind her holding one of Compartés tasty frozen hot chocolates and a clutch purse.
When working on the Compartés flagship store for Los Angeles in collaboration with Kelly Wearstler’s Interior Design Team, we were inspired by old chocolate shops of the early 20th century with their industrial and Art Deco details. We initially looked at using copper for the facade, including for the window framing and doors. We wanted the exterior to have the emerald green patina that copper takes on over time, but the cost of the material was prohibitive, so we instead decided to use steel.
