The latest issue of HoReCa, the hospitality focused issue from the Tableware International team is out now. Following hot on the heels of our Sustainability issue – the TI team continues to deliver a multi-faceted, informed take on the global tabletop sector for our readers.
Our cover star for this issue is Wilmax who talk to us about the importance of styling a table in a hospitality setting. On page 28 they tell us how they can offer venues the full package from tableware through to lighting through to furniture.
In this issue we shine a light on global businesses who are delivering excellent product in a testing market. We speak with leaders such as Luzerne’s global head of sales & product development Leona Lek, who is making sure their product is front and centre while navigating notable challenges in a competitive market.
From a saturated market through to “rising costs and inflation, which affect everything from materials to labour and transportation” there is a lot for Luzerne to be wary of. But this HoReCa brand is not shying away from delivering exciting new collections, the latest of which pays homage to Singapore’s treasured Peranakan culture while being infused with European flair. “This line aims to bring a fresh aesthetic to the market, appealing to customers who appreciate unique and culturally rich designs,” Leona tells HoReCa.

We also hear from Jonathan Shepherd who has worked in the hospitality sector for more than 30 years. He established his consultancy and now works with some really interesting brands. He is a man who knows tableware and hospitality, and we talk to him on page 48.
In terms of products, we take a look at some collections which are ideal for making Afternoon Tea super special from Mesa Ceramics through to Lazzaro, LSA and Porcel – open page 32 for more.
