This issue, we celebrate the success of the Tableware International Awards of Excellence 2019. In our complementary Winners Awards Supplement, we present the 18 winners; pay tribute to the finalists; and report on the dazzling Awards ceremony. In this issue, we present our Annual Glass Guide – 12 pages of new launches and trends; highlight the ways in which tabletop companies are re-positioning themselves to reach new sectors and audiences; and spotlight the latest happenings in the hospitality world. We also celebrate anniversaries, including the 100th anniversary of Bauhaus, and interview Rosenthal about how Bauhaus has influenced its designs. We also pay tribute to 260 years of Wedgwood. We have interviews with Villeroy & Boch about its new tableware re-structure; and with porcelain brand Porland about its retail concept stores, which have been recognised as among the best in the world. See our trends from Ambiente 2019 and discover what to expect at the upcoming New York Tabletop Show.
