November/December 2017
Barware takes centrestage this issue - we look at what's driving product development, how the category is continually being elevated, and introduce the latest barware launches, as well as outline the latest glassware trends, from colour to coupe. A further trend we highlight this issue is the use of different metals and metallic finishes on tabletop; and we spotlight the main highlights in our New York Tabletop Review. We also look ahead to the new-season shows: we deliver the exhibition calendar for 2018; talk to six trade shows about their tableware growth; and preview upcoming January shows, including Las Vegas Market, Homi Milano, NY NOW, Top Drawer, and brand-new show Table in London, an exclusive luxury tableware show for the hospitality industry. We also look ahead to our own Tableware International Awards of Excellence, and talk to the remaining awards judges to find out what they love about the tableware industry.
