Beatriz Ball tells us what buyers are looking for when it comes to serveware

“With so many supply-chain concerns today, savvy buyers are looking to well-established and reputable brands for reliable and versatile products that don’t skimp on style. For instance, our fabulous Sierra Modern Python Square Bowl in gunmetal and gold has a richly textured snakeskin surface set off by polished gold-tone handles that hug the edges. Great for serving salads, fruit, or snacks, it brings a welcome element of luxe to any environment. Food-safe, decorative, and perfect for serving, the piece adds a modern new dimension to any environment. Handmade in our Mexican foundry of a top quality, easy-care aluminum alloy.”

Julia Eisch, head of design, Eisch Germany, on the inspiration behind the company’s Goldleaf collection

“It is definitely a trend to include nature on the laid table as a token of appreciation. At our company location directly adjacent to the Bavarian Forest National Park, we are surrounded by forest and have learned to appreciate nature from an early age. So Goldleaf is a homage to nature, to the freedom that it gives to us, to our homeland. In Goldleaf, we refine glass with gold or platinum by manually applying a structure that resembles wood grain. We emphasise the preciousness of nature by gilding it. So, we draw a bow to the modern kitchen, in which natural products are refined by the sophistication of the chef.

Goldleaf fascinates with the uniqueness of each glass piece and the hand-applied, individual surface structures that look like wood grain covered with gold or platinum leaf. Plates, platters, jugs and carafes, refined with genuine gold or platinum, are eyecatchers on the laid table.”

Jenny Handley, head of marketing, T&G on what is trending in serveware

“The trend for natural, sustainable and sharing serveware is in demand. That might be natural wood boards perfect for serving and presenting food in a casual or more formal dining setting and certainly at home and in the garden. Different shapes and sizes and the natural grain of wood boards can add value to the dining experience; bringing something different to the pub, bar tabletop, restaurant, hotel, café, home or garden.”
