The aim was to adapt the visual appearance and the recipes. With the "Manger le monde" concept, Nouvel has "reinvented the Cailler universe", according to the press release. This concept is based on the three dimensions of new experiences, the enchantment of everyday life and rituals. Cailler wants to play with the mythology of chocolate, its history and tradition. The brand is now operating under the name "Cailler of Switzerland", in true Swissness style. Nestlé Switzerland is spending around 10 million Swiss francs on the new Cailler image. The Cailler classics Frigor, Femina, Ambassador as well as the branch and the bars will go on sale from the end of February in an aesthetic developed by Nouvel. New developments from Ferran Adrià's culinary research laboratory will be added to the range in the fall.
According to Swiss television's Tagesschau, Nestlé is also considering its own Cailler stores. Mövenpick is also planning a new design in addition to new ice cream varieties. Next year, the Thomy and Frisco brands are to be given a general overhaul.
