Toblerone Matterhorn (1908)

ProMax

Toblerone is a mountain compressed into a shape. Born in Bern in 1908, it fused an equilateral triangle, the Matterhorn's hooked peak, and a bear hidden in the rock into one silhouette readable from across a room. The design language runs on gold foil, alpine red, and a strict triangular geometry.

This system treats the chocolate bar's cross-section as a structural grid: prism rows, zigzag peak dividers, and folded-facet cards that catch light like foil. Warm and saturated, never pastel — the gold reads as pressed metal, the red as a heritage trademark, and the whole thing wears its Swiss confidence openly.
