Godiva Chocolatier has collaborated with travel\u00a0retailer DFS to mount a special 90th Anniversary event at San Francisco International Airport featuring the work of renowned Belgian artist Oli-B. A similar event will be staged at Los Angeles Airport in August.<\/p>\n

Godiva was founded in the heart of the Belgian capital Brussels in 1926 and is marking its 90th anniversary with a series of celebrations throughout this year, including the launch of a limited edition gift box \u2018Collection Anniversaire\u2019 containing nine of its most legendary chocolate and praline creations.<\/p>\n

The artist who was chosen to illuminate the famous chocolatier\u2019s anniversary year with his bright colourful designs for gift boxes, displays and merchandising items is celebrated Belgian-born illustrator Oli-B.<\/p>\n

Oli-B flew to San Francisco where, on Saturday 28th May, he completed an exclusive work of art commissioned by Godiva which, with its firework-like brilliance and bright colours against a luxurious gold backdrop, symbolises the brand\u2019s timeless values of quality and refinement as well as its zest for originality and innovation.<\/p>\n

Brush in hand and watched by an attentive crowd of passing travellers, Oli-B put the finishing touches to his unique illustration. His \u2018canvas\u2019 was a set of 36 gold-coloured Godiva gift boxes mounted in a two-metre frame in a specially decorated zone in the airside travel retail shop at San Francisco International Terminal.<\/p>\n

Travellers were invited to have their photo taken with Oli-B against his artwork and surrounded by display units filled with fabulous Godiva chocolates. The artist signed commemorative greeting cards and presented some lucky travellers with mini-ballotins of Godiva chocolates.<\/p>\n

A complimentary Oli-B rainbow-coloured rucksack was offered as a free gift to each customer who spent over US$85 on Godiva products.<\/p>\n

The Godiva 90th Anniversary promotion will move to Los Angeles International Airport in time for a special event on 13th August at which Oli-B will also be present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
