Utopia’s 2023 Roadshow highlights this year’s
tableware trends
Utopia held its biggest
product launch in a decade at Ambiente in January. Of course, not every distributor and customer
was able to get to the show, so for those who missed it the company hit the
road during February and March, touring Ireland and the UK with its 400-plus
new lines. The Utopia Roadshow 2023 visited Dublin,
Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Norwich and Manchester, finishing off in
Leeds.
“We are super-proud of our new
products,” says Josh Rammel, Utopia’s marketing manager. “We wanted to give people the chance to
experience them first hand and figured the best way to do that was to take them
on tour.”
The roadshow also gave Utopia
the opportunity to talk to dealers and customers about what they are looking
for right now. “Pale colours and whites,
often matt, mixed and matched, and textures are all on-trend right now,” says
Josh. “Small plates are huge! Again, it’s about mixing and matching, so we’ve
added a lot of 7” plates to our ranges to meet the demand.
“On the drinks side, a trend
that’s growing is serving wine in tumblers, French-peasant style. There’s also quite a few bars using our chip
pots to service cocktails.
Interestingly, London cocktails tend to be served in smaller glasses
than elsewhere – so we are offering a wide range of glass sizes.
“Another new line that made a
big impact is our metal stacking ramekins – they come in different finishes and
are great for serving, for example, snacks or oil and vinegar for
dipping.”
For anyone who missed the tour
and is looking for new ideas and concepts, Utopia has two showrooms where they
can experience the company’s latest lines. They are in London, in Gilbert
Place, Holborn, and at Utopia’s head office in Langham Park, Chesterfield.
