On Your Mark, Get Set… Kick Start the First Quarter of 2010 at NYIGF No sooner will the calendar read “2010” than the first major market for housewares retailers and suppliers will open at the winter edition of the New York International Gift Fair® (NYIGF®), January 30-February 4. Hundreds of new companies are joining NYIGF, and many major participants are expanding their space, encouraged by the successful summer ’09 market—a recordbreaker for many. Rich in Resources With over 2,700 exhibiting companies representing more than 100,000 product lines in eight different divisions, NYIGF offers an outstanding breadth and depth of design-driven home fashion products, lifestyle merchandise and complementary giftware. That’s in addition to comprehensive collections of kitchenware products available in the Tabletop & Housewares division, and abundant complementary resources throughout other NYIGF divisions. Now’s the time to assess your stock, refresh your inventory and add some new kitchen and table merchandise. At NYIGF, you’ll find tabletop, glassware, bakeware, kitchen gadgets, cutlery and flatware, kitchen textiles, table linens, barware and wine
accessories. It may also be time to shake off recessionary caution and bring in fresh new home entertaining lines and luxury tabletop. With 500 gourmet-specific suppliers, alongside thousands of complementary resources, you’ll find what you need, as well as some exciting new finds, at NYIGF! Who’s Who Tabletop & Housewares is the first stop for housewares retailers. The division is stronger than ever on the heels of the successful August market, as evidenced by exhibit space expansion, a high rate of retention, the addition of new companies, as well as the return of others. Mark Blackwell returns again this winter, as does the Italian Trade Commission, with a pavilion of 20 housewares and tabletop suppliers. NYIGF also will welcome several newcomers— Aladdin, French Farm, Nick Munro Design Ltd. and Tade—as well as industry-leaders—Arte Italica, Built, Linden Sweden, Pillivuyt USA, PlaceTile and Rolf Glass—who are returning to the Fair after an absence from market. At the same time, several returning exhibitors are increasing their exhibit space: Grant Dawson, Kim Seybert, Joseph Joseph,
Michael Aram, Polish Pottery Plus, Soleil de Provence, Vagabond House, VIETRI and Zack USA, which has expanded to showcase its high end “Kahla” line. Sourcing, Simplified “Shopping the Fair can be overwhelming without some direction, especially for buyers new to NYIGF,” says Dorothy Belshaw, NYIGF director and GLM senior vice president. She advises doing some research before coming to the show by utilizing helpful tools on the NYIGF.com website. Both the Online Catalog Gallery and Directory Search can minimize sourcing time. Plan Ahead Admission to NYIGF for retailers is free with advance registration, and buyers can do so on the newly-redesigned www.NYIGF.com website. The site can also be accessed to register for educational seminars on current business issues, including social media, sustainability and color trends. Tickets for popular afterhours networking events and the popular “Night on Broadway” also are available.
Products you’ll see at NYIGF include: (top) Handmade Ceramic Plates by Ubaldo Grazia (part of Italian Trade Commission). www.ubaldograzia.com; “Giardino” Porcelain and Pewter Set by Arte Italica. www.arteitalica.com; “Sarah’s Flowers” hand painted collection by VIETRI. www.vietri.com; “Olive Verde” Napkins, Placemats and Runner by Flat Earth Imports. www.flatearthimports.com; (bottom) “Fleur de Lis” Cheese Plate and Knife Set by PlaceTile. www.placetile.com; Majolica Oil and Vinegar Set by Intrada. www.intradaitaly.com 16

Ambiente 2010 A
f e a s t

t a b l e
These days an enjoyable meal consists of more than just exquisite ingredients. It is also important to know how to create an atmosphere at the table, and how highquality, functional kitchen utensils can round off the indulgence experience. From February 12-16, 2010 all these themes will be presented in the Dining area of Ambiente, the largest international tradeshow for consumer goods. The world’s leading fair for the table, kitchen and housewares is home to well-known international companies, who will be showcasing their new products and highlights for the upcoming year with an impressive brand presence. The range of products comprises of glass, porcelain, ceramics, cutlery, kitchen and household goods. Dining will be joined by the leading international fairs Living and Giving under the Ambiente roof. A new layout for the major brands Ambiente stands for innovations, trends and new products. At the upcoming event, this will apply not just to the products but to the overall layout of the show. Ambiente is being restructured and rotated, and the three leading international fairs will be switching sides. This year exhibitors on the west side will move to the east side and vice versa. From 2010, Dining will be allocated more space for the expanding kitchen and household segments and will occupy Halls 1 to 6 of the Fair and Exhibition Center. The new Ambiente concept will be even more market specific and will meet exhibitor requirements in terms of where and how their collections are presented. 300 years of porcelain Magnificent courtly pieces, coveted collectors’ objects, traditional family porcelain or massproduced goods—porcelain has been reflecting social development in the most impressive way for three centuries. To celebrate this anniversary, Ambiente will be
a n d
k i t c h e n
staging a special feature area “300 years of porcelain.” The theme will be the evolution of the cultural artifact. Designer Gerd Sommerlade will be interpreting the most important milestones from three centuries of dining culture. The popular producer and stylist has already produced a series of photographs on the theme of dining, kitchen and hospitality for several major lifestyle magazines. Sommerlade has also presented the series and collections for big porcelain brands like Rosenthal and Reichenbach. New young designers in the Table section Ambiente’s unique product range will be boosted by a host of high-class design exhibitions, trend areas and events. For the first time in 2010, there will also be a dedicated Talents area. Young designers from the promotional program will be presenting their ideas and blueprints on the theme of table, kitchen and household. Fresh design ideas will also be displayed in the A Mano area, where start-up companies with new and innovative products will be exhibiting. These participants want to establish themselves on the market and would like to find customers and producers. “Kitchen Innovation Prize” at Ambiente from 2010 From 2010, a special highlight of Ambiente will be the presentation of the “Kitchen Innovation Prize.” FoodVision Deutschland GmbH is awarding this prize in context of Initiative LifeCare—Besser Leben and in cooperation with Messe Frankfurt. It honors kitchen, table and dining innovation. An independent jury of experts will evaluate the products submitted regarding innovation, functionality and design. Then consumers will decide which of the products nominated deserves the “Kitchen Innovation of the Year” award.
