Celebrating the best this industry has to offer; the 2025 Tableware International Awards of Excellence took place during Ambiente. And what a celebration it was! A total of 15 category winners were unveiled on the night by Tableware International’s editor Mairead Wilmot, who hosted the event along with publisher Paul Yeomans. Guests also enjoyed a speech by Thomas Kastl, Ambiente’s director of dining, followed by the announcement of the winners, who were chosen by an international panel of industry experts. And a very special thanks really must go to our judging panel and event sponsors, without whom these awards simply could not happen. The judging panel includes Laurie Burns, Jesper Efferbach, Valda Goodfellow, Jorge Perez, John O’Byrne, Michele Trzuskowski, Robin Levien, Amos van Praagh, Dominique Tage, Wiebke Lehman, Martyn Lewis and Nick Holland.
Sponsors of the event were Ambiente and Decorium while our category sponsors include: ANDMORE, The Inspired Home Show, Kerajet, SACMI, Crystalex, Zuchex, Lucideon, Krosno, Arc and Shoppe Objet. There were three finalists per category: serveware, barware, flatware/cutlery, casual glassware, fine glassware, decorative, coffee/teaware, sustainability, hospitality dinnerware, hospitality glassware, casual dinnerware, fine dinnerware and innovation plus two special awards – designer of the year and outstanding contribution award winner. “These industry awards mean so much to us and we are really delighted to be able to facilitate them,” says Tableware International’s publisher Paul Yeomans. “The winners of the 2025 awards are really deserving of their honour and I speak for the entire Tableware International team when I say it is an absolute honour to be part of this industry.”
