TablO October Events
The world came to HostMilano this year. This, the 41st edition welcomed professionals from all over the world, and thus confirmed the fair’s ranking as the world’s leading hospitality event. There were over 200,000 presences: 8% more than in 2017. And it was a very international affair, as demonstrated by the fact that four visitors out of ten came from abroad, from no fewer than 171 countries. Everyone had good reason to come: there, waiting for the professional visitors were 2,249 exhibitors (up 3.8% on 2017), 1,360 of them were Italian and 889 came from 55 foreign countries. They were made up of not just the big players, but also small-scale innovative concerns and start-ups full of ideas. So the halls of the fair were a veritable babble of languages, in what was a decidedly cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Host 2019 also turned out to be a unique opportunity to exchange know-how and experiences, thanks to a calendar of initiatives that has never been fuller: over 800 events in all sectors, from coffee and pastries to bread baking and catering. Another key factor was the partnerships with sector associations. These involved professionals, consultants and experts from all over the world who tackled topical issues like sustainability and 4.0 Technology, Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things.
Richard Ginori, the maximum expression of Italian excellence in the artistic manufacture of pure porcelain since 1735, presented its new collection, Aria, born of the strategic partnership consolidated with ALMA – The International School of Italian Cuisine, and has been designed in close collaboration with its team of chefs with the goal of designing and developing a series of products and collections dedicated to the world of “High End Hospitality and Catering”.
Aria allows the composition of different table settings, and each time the pieces of the collection transform from plate to cover to raised stand. With a view to beautiful and functional design, Aria, with its modular capacity, has been designed for different uses and is ideal for optimizing space.
The new collection is created with a highly innovative Hyper*P porcelain formulation, designed following a study of more than two years in the laboratories of the Florentine maison. Porcelain developed with the Hyper*P formulation is, therefore, highly performing and resistant to impacts, ideal for the restaurant sector, but at the same time, preserves all of its prized characteristics.
The Aria collection completely reflects the identity of Richard Ginori. A perfect synthesis between culture and beauty, excellence of know-how, innovation and creativity.
