Welcome to the final edition of Tableware International for 2023.
This issue features Steelite International on the cover – turn to page 32 to see our interview with Tim Harper, senior vice president sales (UK & Ireland) who tells us about the recent revamp of the company’s London showroom.
On page 68, Oliver Towers does a super job writing about Denby’s link to Barbie-designer Jack Ryan, and in turn, his wife, the Hollywood actress Zsa zsa Gabor.
Both Luzerne and Porland tell us about some of their latest collections on pages 34 and 40, respectively. We also take a quick look at Barware on pages 36 and 38, and of course, we preview the upcoming Atlanta Market, which by all accounts, is growing and growing and growing with brands such as LSA International, Reidel, Fortessa and Beatriz Ball all there – along with many more.
In terms of interviews, we catch up with the family-run Clip Quality Brands on 46 and on page 42 we speak with Melody Rose’s Melanie Roseveare.
And not forgetting our regular features such a HoReCa news, product news and trends where we look at animal-inspired pieces on page 50 and blue tabletop on page 62.
We look forward to seeing you all at Ambiente – my colleague Paul and I will be there in force and in particular, I’m eager to get my hands on your latest collections so do make an appointment to see me over the course of the show.
