Steam from the kettle and the warm, nutty aroma of toasted cacao beans meet you as the group files into a compact city workshop in Basel. Light filters through a street-level window; counters are scattered with tools, glass jars of single-origin beans and a small furnace for tempering. The room hums with focused chatter—this is a working studio, not a showpiece.
