Day 2 at New York's IHMRS Show made for improved traffic in terms of both quantity and quality of buyers attending according to many of the tabletop exhibitors. Here are a few new items we saw in Day 2 that caught our eye and we think that you will find on the tabletops of top chefs and restaurateurs very soon.
Izabel Lam's new MILKY WAY provides a flat, contrasting canvas for chefs' creations and comes in multiple sizes in both square and rectangle shapes.
| Izabel Lam, with her tabletop artistry, again leads with her new Milky Way and Stream designs. Coming in multiple size squares and rectangles, the flat, night-sky look of Milky Way provides a great contrasting canvas for culinary creations of all sizes. Stream, continues this iconic designer's style of flowing forms with undulating shapes and gentle textures, combined with a contrasting stroke of color across the surface of the round transparent and textured plates. Michelin starred chefs around the world seek the dinnerware designs from Izabel Lam to take their food presentations to an even higher level.  |  This legendary designer's products still remain the favorite of Michelin-starred chefs throughout the world. |
 | Fortessa, with two new collections, had plenty of talk about with the many interested visitors to their booth. Spice is a colorful, agrarian series of dinnerware and serving pieces that will help elevate the dining experience for restaurant guests with its more natural look. Fortessa's new Spice comes in three color styles: cayenne, cilantro, and saffron. Restaurant menus that feature farm-grown, natural items will like the look and feel of Spice. With their Basics collection, Fortessa has taken the idea of portion-sized serving pieces and added the the Fortessa style of "better looking, longer lasting, and better value" to them. This new collection is extensive with nearly thirty pieces and a body whiteness that matches nicely with Fortessa's Fortaluxe Superwhite tableware. Enhanced durability through the addition of magnesium oxide to the body material also adds to the value of Basics. |
SPICE, part of Fortessa's D&V line of products, combines a casual, rustic beauty with the hidden practicality of vitrified dinnerware.
