HOSPITALITY GETS A MAKEOVER,
STARTING WITH THE MISE EN PLACE
THE TRENDS FOR THE NEXT MONTHS
What will be the predominant
style for next season's table?
HostMilano asked some of its
stakeholders, including producers in the
tableware sector, HostAmbassadors and
starred chefs, to discover the current
trends in terms of equipment to create
the right atmosphere in moments of
conviviality. Classic style never goes
out of fashion: elegant and sober, it
is perfect for any occasion. But bright
notes of color and materials such as
suitably treated wood and stoneware
also stand out.
From the kitchen to the table
Restaurants and many bars are focusing
on the recognisability of the design
and the quality of the furnishings, in
order to offer the final customer a
real 360-degree experience. Starting
from the table, which is renewed in
shapes and colors. The work carried
out in the kitchens increasingly focuses
on sustainability by using intelligent
energy-saving equipment that helps
professional to halve time and costs,
for more careful management of waste.
The chef's experience and commitment,
supported by technology, must then
be enhanced with great care in the
plating to highlight the research and
preparation work that lies behind each
recipe. Choosing an adequate mise en
place is important to satisfy the view of
the diner, enhance all the flavors to the
fullest and underline the attention and
care in the service.
To better understand the current trends,
HostMilano consulted the starred
chef Davide Oldani - D'O restaurant
in Cornaredo (MI) – who signed some
furniture collections for his restaurant,
born in collaboration with important
companies in the sector, as well as
various lines of table service carefully
designed to enhance his creations.
“Right now – explains chef Oldani – the
trend of our set up service is wood,
obviously treated with a sanitizing paint
suitable for contact with food."
Inspirations around the world: we
give the floor to HostAmbassador
HostMilano asked some
HostAmbassadors their opinions on
this subject, to illustrate new points of
view, stories and curiosities, news and
trends from their different markets. If in
Italy there is a return to the use of local
products, inclusive menus and a service
that focuses on the customer with a
greener and more sustainable proposal
also for the equipment, in Argentina the
focus is on Materials and colors in the
foreground.
Always listening to companies in the
sector, HostMilano reveals that one
of the trends of the next months is
equipment made up of crockery with
eccentric and colorful shapes, which
also features the color of the year:
a vibrant red with hints of pink. The
nuances of pale yellow, aquamarine and
lavender are also combined. Today many
companies are able to easily combine
reactive glazes with a porcelain base,
to create beautiful but long-lasting sets
that stand up to daily use between uses
and washings. As for the materials,
there are various stoneware proposals
that give an artisanal and rustic touch,
suggesting a warm and welcoming
atmosphere. Then there are the classic
porcelain services, always loved and very
resistant, which give the table an aura
of great elegance and sobriety. This is
confirmed by the starred chef Enrico
Bartolini of the Mudec restaurant in
Milan.
The Furniture and Tableware areas
complete the offer of HostMilano which
will also present a panorama of future
trends. The appointment with the future
of the out-of-home is at fieramilano Rho
from 13 to 17 October 2023, and on all
social channels for constant updates on
new trends.
