Rosanna’s tabletop trends

An increasing number of accomplished home cooks now want beautiful tableware, observes Rosanna Bowles, founder, president and art director of Seattle-based tableware company Rosanna Inc, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Tablescaping continues to be a big trend on Instagram, so eye-catching pieces are in demand, Rosanna highlights.

“Cooking has become a very big part of cocooning, with home the place for work and play, as well as for entertainment and refuge,” reflects Rosanna. “Refuge and nesting and creating a beautiful and welcoming table are the key trends going forward.”

She observes: “We are seeing that in tableware, there is a big trend for serveware being the new gift of choice, and it is also is becoming an important item for personal purchase too, with our serve ware sales increasing exponentially for Rosanna in the last two years.”

Rosanna adds that bowls continue to be a popular item in the dinnerware category. “A bowl of pasta can be eaten at your desk or at the table,” Rosanna points out, “as dining is now all over the home.”

As for tableware design in the US, she says that there is currently a shift away from plain white and monochromatic colors. “Tables are being set by adding plates that are colorful and patterned to a base of white dinner plates, while serving pieces that have surface design are also trending. Adding plates that have a pattern to a simple white dinner plate transforms a table.”

Florals too, are increasingly popular. “Watercolor art for the surface design lends a touch of handmade to the design and adds integrity to the product, while gourmet food themes are popular as food takes centre stage for comfort and pleasure in the home. Themed serveware celebrating delicious food and its ingredients are also seeing a resurgence.”
