A Canvas of Colours and Patterns
Trends in 2024 herald a shift towards bold and lively colours in tableware. Picture hues of lavender, terracotta, muted mustard, and burgundy setting the stage for a visually stunning dining experience. This colour palette is complemented by high-contrast motifs and geometric patterns, creating a dramatic visual impact that transforms every meal into a vibrant feast for the eyes. It can be seen in colourful glassware, which has made a stylish comeback. See Bangkok Modern Glass Ware’s collection, which fuses traditional Thai artistry with modern design to create hand-blown glass pieces that are colourful and artistic.
Sustainability Meets Style
Featured at THAIFEX - HOREC Asia 2024 are vendors like Duni (Thailand), who have redefined eco-friendly elegance with tableware crafted from sustainable materials like bamboo and rice husk. Their innovative products are not only environmentally conscious but also aesthetically pleasing, reflecting the growing demand for sustainable dining solutions in the HoReCa sector.
White on White Earthen Elegance meets Functional Artistry
For tableware, whiter than white patterned crockery, placed on a table with layers of white linen and white candles, or against a palette of natural hues, is a firm trend in 2024.
Exhibitor Home Pottery PCL has ceramic ware, a testament to the fusion of beauty and utility. From intricate patterns and decals perfect for upscale dining settings to robust designs for high-traffic eateries, their collection is designed for versatility and space efficiency in hotels and restaurants.
For example, they meet the trend towards asymmetric and unconventional tableware shapes turning dining tables into captivating still lifes. These unique pieces, ideal for high-end restaurants and hotels, elevate the food presentation, transforming ordinary meals into extraordinary culinary experiences.
A Nod to the Midcentury Modern Aesthetic
Design trends for 2024 in dining ware are also witnessing a heavy influence of Midcentury Modern designs, featuring retro colour palettes and patterns reminiscent of the era. Think lemon yellow, tangy orange, starburst motifs, and geometric shapes, bringing a nostalgic yet fresh vibe to the dining table.
At THAIFEX - HOREC Asia, ISR (Thailand) has presented a comprehensive suite of dining ware, from buffet and display ware to kitchen and bar utensils. Representing premium brands like Hepp and Rosenthal, ISR offers an eclectic mix of styles catering to the diverse needs of the hospitality industry.
At the show, cutlery design has moved towards sleek and comfortable handles with gold, bronze, or black plating. Mixed shades and handles with mother-of-pearl or chameleon coating have gained popularity, and their shapes offer a blend of functionality and style.
THAIFEX - HOREC Asia 2024 is more than just a trade show; it's a journey into the future of dining aesthetics.
