This latest issue of Tableware International is online, and in the post, now. Our August September’ 25 issue features the iconic Swedish Orrefors brand on the front cover with its hugely exciting collaboration with three Michelin star chef Björn Frantzén with whom they have created the Orrefors x Björn Frantzén glassware series. Learn more about the range, which is also expanding, on page 36.

We also feature from product focuses on some of our favourite brand campaigns and new collections (Rosenthal on page 38 and Villeroy & Boch on page 90), through to category focuses such as gift-ready tableware on page 46, and melamine on page 62.


As usual we have lots of news, views and much more including a trend piece on the dot pattern (page 58). If you turn to page 70, you will be able to read industry viewpoints on president Donal Trump’s tariff programme, meanwhile, ahead of The Inspired Home Show in March ’26, we also speak with IHA president Derek Miller. Show organisers have implemented a Tariff Relief Program to help exhibitors, and Derek tells us more about the initiative on page 68.

This issue also sees us speak with Sven Bodry, director of operations at RAK Porcelain Europe. Sven knows this industry inside out, and with RAK walking into Q4 having seen record number in the first half of 2025, he tells Tableware International about the company’s trajectory. You’ll find this on page 40.
