Focusing on the Manta’s minimal ingredients, StudioTyrrell built an identity based on the idea that chocolate can be a source of both nutrition and pleasure. Chocolatiers have long leaned on richness and abundance to market its treats, advertising silky textures and gooey centres often rendered through generous helpings of butter and sugar. For Manta, it’s quite the opposite. This chocolate company is committed to making healthier chocolate snacks, creating its bars and bites out of raw, plant-based, and unrefined ingredients without dairy, gluten or refined sugar. “What stood out to us immediately was the almost ascetic use of ingredients, in contrast to the rich, sensorial world of chocolate,” says Oliver Tyrrell, founder of Studio Tyrrell. When developing with Manta’s visual identity, the design studio found themselves drawn to this tension between the purity of Manta’s craft and the pleasure of eating. #ItsNiceThat
