Welcome to the Kitchenware News & Housewares Review 2010 Buyers’ Guide. While
2009 was a challenging year, the foundation of retail is still based on finding
wonderful product at great prices. We’ve designed our annual buyers’ guides to help
with this task.
In this issue, we have nearly 200 products organized into fourteen categories of
kitchenware. Reflecting the range of current trends in colors, styles and functions, the
guide is a year-round resource in an easy-to-use format.
Please note that each category is sponsored by a leading manufacturer of products
listed under the specific topic. We hope you find this guide useful throughout 2010.

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;

Kitchenware News & Housewares Review • 2010 BUYERS’ GUIDE
Ambiente 2010
A
f e a s t
f o r
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.
