My Favorite Things

When Rafael Prieto, the cofounder of the design practice Savvy Studio, isn’t working with clients like Mast Books and Saint Theo’s, he can be found crafting Casa Bosques’ chocolate bars—laced with blue corn maize or hoja santa leaves—in collaboration with artists including Harold Ancart and Lawrence Weiner. Here, the chocolatier and creative mind shares his everyday essentials, from the toothpaste he turns to post-sweets to the supplement he swears by while traveling between his Tribeca and Mexico City ateliers
