In what direction are emerging trends in hospitality design moving? Industry practitioners and experts agree: we are moving toward an increasingly sophisticated mix of technological innovation, personalization, sustainability and multi-sensory experientialism.

To meet the challenges of such a complex scenario, we need a perspective capable of combining a comprehensive overview of the entire industry with vertical insights into individual sectors, enhancing the cross-selling opportunities offered by hybridization and contamination between related value chains.

This is the perspective that – thanks to a unique exhibition concept – is offered by Host 2025, at Fiera Milano – Rho from 17 to 21 October. Organized by Fiera Milano, Host 2025 is the world-leading exhibition in technologies, formats and layouts for hospitality, out-of-home and food retail. In recent editions, Host Milano has increasingly established itself as the exhibition of reference in the sector not only for technological innovation, but also for design trends: at Host 2025, the contract world will be the protagonist of the Furniture-Technology and Tableware areas.

Novel, innovative and sustainable materials to ensure a comfortable and functional environment will be in the spotlight in the Furniture area: indoor and outdoor tables and seating, lighting and furnishing accessories, as well as innovative concepts, new formats and hybridizations between types of venues to better anticipate the needs of a constantly evolving market.

And there’s more: it’s also a space dedicated to digital solutions for the hospitality and out-of-home world, with a focus on applications for customization and personalization and for process and system efficiency. A stage with a high innovation content, not only of products but also of new ideas that merge sustainability with digitization, up to next-generation solutions with artificial intelligence, to give life to proposals that transform new technologies into business development tools.

Beyond tableware, there will be also clothing for professional dining and kitchen staff: uniforms and accessories that are original, trendy and always well-groomed. The Tableware area at Host 2025 is the space where you can discover all the accessories and trendy details that make a hospitality proposal unique.

Cutlery, plates, glasses, tablecloths, trays, silverware, China, and more are not mere utensils, but real protagonists that transform the table into the lifestyle experience that today’s patrons around the world seek. Components that not only contribute to the creation of an impeccable mise en place, but are also capable of adapting to the needs of every context, season and atmosphere always, in the name of design and quality.

Through exclusive formats, new ideas and surprising solutions, Host Milano celebrates the art of hospitality by offering original, functional and engaging spaces shaped with the collaboration of high-profile architects and designers.

At Host 2025, the approach to hospitality will move between a constant search for quality and a constant push toward innovation. A dynamic balance that will manifest itself through a diverse range of proposals, combining traditional classics with the most original and contemporary solutions. An appointment not to be missed for all designers, operators and professionals in the sector.
