Pintinox at HostMilano 2025: elegance goes Champagne

If you’ve been following Pintinox in the last editions, you know the brand has been pushing colors and finishes to help hotels and restaurants escape the “classic shiny steel” trap. For 2025 the star shade is clearly Champagne: warm, soft, Instagram-friendly, and elegant on neutral table linens.

1. Audrey: when design meets PVD

The Audrey family, designed by Marcello Ziliani, gets two glamorous versions: Audrey Treasure Champagne and Audrey Velvet Champagne. Both are forged in 18/10 stainless steel and finished with PVD (so: color that lasts, not paint) but they speak two different languages:

  • Treasure = polished, mirror-like, very “fine dining”.

  • Velvet = matt, tactile, very “boutique hotel”.

Both ranges are complete: tablespoon, table fork, standing knife, dessert pieces, coffee/moka spoons, and even the 3-prong pastry fork, a detail pastry chefs will love. Pricing in the sheet positions them clearly in the premium segment.

And since no Champagne-colored cutlery set should arrive without its stage, Pintinox is also showing the Audrey Champagne Bucket + Column: aluminium bucket, satin steel column, five colors (Metal Grey, Metal Gold, Metal Bronze, Coffee, Carbon). You can park it next to the table and make bottle service part of the mise en place.

2. Heaven: one design, four moods

Right next to Audrey you’ll see Heaven, a long-time Pintinox bestseller, now in a mini rainbow of finishes: Satin, Mystique (matt), Treasure Champagne (polished + PVD) and Velvet (matt + PVD). Same 18/10, same forged quality, but four looks, perfect for chains or groups that want to differentiate outlets without changing model.

  • Heaven Satin: the smart, durable, everyday option.

  • Heaven Mystique: contemporary, anti-fingerprint vibe.

  • Heaven Treasure Champagne: for banqueting and events.

  • Heaven Velvet: also available in Champagne, Titanium, Bronze to match different interiors.

This “same shape, many finishes” strategy is interesting because Host 2025 is very much about personalization and brand identity in tableware. Pintinox is basically telling buyers: pick the silhouette you like, then tint it to your concept. That’s in line with what the fair itself is highlighting this year on tableware trends.

3. Chopsticks, but make them Italian

A fun small novelty: 18/10 chopsticks with hollow handle, square or round section, polished or satin. It’s an elegant way to equip Asian menus, tasting counters and sushi corners without resorting to disposable. Sold also in 6-piece sets. Pricing is surprisingly accessible.

Display & buffet: Caleido steals the show

Buffet, breakfast and banqueting are back in force at Host 2025, operators are looking for things that look designed, not improvised. Pintinox answers with Caleido:

  • Caleido baskets in painted steel, 4 shapes and 4 colors (Sage, Cream, Coffee, Coal): low/high, mesh/wire. Ideal for bread, amenities, room service. Everything comes with dedicated packaging, so retailers and dealers are happy too.

  • Caleido Wood in Canaletto walnut (three display bridges + bases, all GN 1/1–compatible): this is the “make your buffet photogenic” part. Wood + steel GN porcelain looks great in hotel breakfast rooms. And it’s Made in Italy, which is a plus buyers will underline during the show.

Pair these with the Audrey champagne bucket and you can build a whole Prosecco corner or welcome station with only Pintinox pieces.

 

Professional kitchen: induction, finally

Host Milano 2025 has a strong tech/efficiency angle, AI, connectivity, energy-saving equipment. Pintinox complements that with cookware that actually works on today’s hobs:

Tender Alu Expert Full Induction

  • 99.5% aluminium, 3 mm thick
  • Full induction base
  • Versions with or without non-stick (PPG Eclipse, 3 layers)
  • Frying pans 24–40 cm, plus 2-handle pans.
    This is for kitchens that want aluminium’s lightness but can’t give up induction.

ST-K Pro: 

  • High-thickness forged aluminium
  • Full induction
  • PPG Fusion Pro II non-stick with copper dots
  • Pro tubular handle, triple-riveted, PFAS-free
    That reads like a pan built for intense line work.

Blue Iron

  • 99% iron, blue enamel exterior, Made in Italy
  • 24–32 cm: 
    Old-school look, modern finish, nice for open kitchens.

Tender Alu colander sections (¼) For large pasta pots (Ø 36/40), to speed service and portioning. Very Ho.Re.Ca.

And for buyers hunting for a price-entry cutlery to match all this, there’s also Lunch, 18/0, 1.8 mm, with both stamped and high-thickness knives, perfect for canteens and contract.

       

Why this matters

  • Color is business: Champagne, Bronze, Titanium let venues upsell banquets, brunches, tasting menus.

  • One supplier, many areas: table, buffet, bar service, and kitchen, Pintinox is clearly talking to operators who want to simplify purchasing.

  • Made in Italy narrative: especially on Caleido Wood and premium cutlery, it aligns perfectly with the Milan setting.
