The summer issue of Tableware International is online now.
Our July/August issue pays tribute to the great David Queensberry who sadly passed away on 22 July 2026, at the age of 96. David was a good friend of this magazine and we send our heartfelt condolences to his children, extended family and many friends and colleagues. You’’ find our tribute on page 12.
This month’s cover story is given over to Kosta Boda who showcase their elevated and extended Pavillion collection on page 28, designed by Swedish duo Sofia Lagerkvist and Anna Lindgren.
We also welcome a new column from industry expert Dave Turner. I’m so thrilled Dave has agreed to share his industry knowledge with Tableware International. Find Dave’s column on page 80 where he highlights a few of his favourite collections.
Meanwhile, we learn about Portmeirion and Spode’s new festive collections and hear why they see seasonal tabletop as one of retail’s most commercially resilient categories – that’s on page 30.
This month we also look at the gifting (from page 34) and metals (from page 58) – two interesting, but key, categories for the market.
We also speak with Les-Ottomans on page 44 and designer Vito Nesta on page 62.
Of course, we also focus on trends such as a stripes (page 48) and all things textured on page 98.
We’ve got show previews (Maison on page 76 and ComAsia on page 72) and a review of Exclusively on page 78, along with regular news pages and interviews.
Enjoy the rest of August as we prepare ourselves for show season!
