3. Strategic Sourcing: Hospitality & Retail Solutions
At HOSEN HOME, we understand that different markets require distinct product strategies. For 2026, our portfolio is segmented to serve two critical sectors:
A. The Hospitality Collection (HoReCa)
For hotels, restaurants, and caterers, durability must meet design.
Unique Presentation: We utilize Reactive & Crystalline Glazes to create “organic” patterns. This ensures every plate is a unique piece of art, ideal for premium hotel branding and elevating food presentation.
Commercial Durability: All hospitality lines are rigorously tested for high-frequency use in professional kitchens and are fully dishwasher and microwave safe.
Safety Compliance: Our complex glazes are lead-free and cadmium-free, meeting strict FDA and EU food safety standards.
B. The Retail & Supermarket Collection
For supermarkets and large retail chains, the priority is high perceived value at a competitive price point.
“Hybrid Craft” Technology: We combine advanced machine printing with specialized glazing techniques.
High Value-for-Money: This process replicates the complex look of handmade or high-end artistic ceramics but at a production cost suitable for wholesale and mass-market retail.
Flexible Stocking: We offer solutions that allow retailers to test new trends without taking on excessive stock risks.
4.2026/2027 Design Trends
Based on market data and previews, HOSEN HOME is focusing on these key trends for the upcoming season:
Multifunctional Sets: Versatile tableware designed to transition seamlessly from casual family breakfasts to formal dinner parties.
