Spring Fair’s Hall 9 (Kitchen & Dining) will embrace a wide spectrum of housewares: from craft products in the new Artisan Avenue to the new season’s launches from industry leaders such as Ulster Weavers, Grunwerg, T&G, Denby and Le Creuset.
New exhibitors in Hall 9 include Kiddi Kutter, with specialist knives designed for children aged three years and older to cut their own food safely, enabling parents to teach kids cooking at an early age. Western International, Muggi (with its cupholder tray) and JO Group are also joining the Hall.
Specialising in hydration solutions, Auteur will launch its new brand, Soma, as well as new additions across its portfolio. Soma creates elegant filtration and hydration products, with a focus on sustainability – from the sugarcane material used in its filter jugs to its bamboo handles.
Portmeirion Group will reveal new collections including Botanic Garden Harmony (Portmeirion), Atrium (Portmeirion) and Kingsley (Spode). “They have been heavily influenced by the current trend to bring the outside in – a huge trend for 2019 – while remaining steeped in each of the three brand’s individual heritage,” explained sales and marketing director Phil Atherton.
Demonstrations at Spring Fair include Tramontina, which will be serving samples of steaks, expertly cut with its steak knives.
Officially launched at Autumn Fair 2018, DesignFirst will make its Spring Fair debut, featuring exclusive manufacturers that will introduce buyers to the latest game-changing, original products. Exhibitors confirmed at February’s show include ceramics from Dimpled Heart and woodware from The Sugar Shed.
For those interested in food related sales, TasteFirst showcases new-to-market, dedicated culinary innovators like NOVELTEA and Mountain Chocolate Company.
Spring Fair (NEC Birmingham) is February 3-7 (Volume opens February 2).
