<p>
The chocolate paper concept first came into life as an <em>aluminum foil chocolate wrapping paper</em></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
From chocolate paper to isothermal fabric</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Back to 1976, "Souvenirs du Futurs" inventor Philippe – an ultimate chocolate lover himself - had the idea to convert this chocolate wrapping material into an isothermal fabric.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Starting from scatch, Philippe laboriously went through various processes to finally eloborate a unique fabric which could be used for many applications on an industrial level.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
After a huge success during the 80's, the product went to a sleeping mode - which is quite usual for any new inventions as trends only last for so long and are quite unpredictable.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Today, Philippe sensed that it was past time to revive the concept and give it a bright new future. And so the "Papier chocolat" project is in the air again.</p>
