Metallic finishes, sparkling decorative details and contemporary fusion designs are hot trends in tableware, dinnerware and gift items at this year's HKTDC Hong Kong Houseware Fair, from today until Thursday at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Topchoice Industries will present several collections of dinnerware and gift items decorated with intricate details in gold and silver, and pearl-effect motifs.
Brenda Liang Chia-yu, marketing manager at Topchoice, said the company achieved a breakthrough in applying metallic decoration to strengthen its profile as a supplier of higher-end products.
'Although the materials are costly, we have made use of this challenging application to differentiate our products. The dinnerware and gift items with metallic details are all modern styles,' Ms Liang said.
Items in the Souffle Gold collection have a luxurious look but are also suitable for daily use. In the bridal Casa Grande collection, the new bone China items with metallic decorative motifs could be bought as a set but select items were also available in pairs, she said. All the items with metallic details comply with the stringent safety standards of the European Union.
To Ngai Earthware will unveil a collection of porcelain home decorative items and lighting products featuring metallic designs made with vacuum electroplating technology.
