McNabb had the pleasure of working with world-renowned advertising agency, Leo Burnett Worldwide for the past three years to create the Agency of the Year award. Each award is customized to include iconic architecture from the top performing office’s city.

In 2013 James McNabb collaborated with UK based Wardour Communications and Modla, to produce a 3D printed adaptation of our City Sphere. Once printed, the new city sphere was artfully photographed and used on the cover of the September issue of the RSA Journal. RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) is an enlightenment organization committed to finding innovative practical solutions to today’s social challenges.

This is certainly the most delicious collaboration yet!

The World Chocolate Masters (WCM) is the premier international competition solely dedicated to the art of chocolate. Since its start in 2005, the WCM has been dedicated to specific themes like Surrealism and Haute Couture. The 2013 event focused on "The Architecture of Taste", where Pastry chefs and Chocolatiers from all around the world have to express their architectural skills through taste. In addition to composing flavors, they were to study and design new shapes and textures, in which chocolate plays a fundamental role.

McNabb was honored to collaborate with master patissier chocolatier, Marike van Beureden, for her entry into the 2013 WCM competition. James crafted a unique selection of abstracted skyscrapers which were then cast in the world’s finest chocolates and utilized in Marike's stunning compositions.

Marike and her team did a phenomenal job, and ultimately took home the title of 2nd Place overall, with special awards also won Best Pastry and Best Moulded Praline. Congrats Marike!
