Here is what we saw at Messe Frankfurt by [Redazione](https://blog.fbm.eu/author/redazione) on 18 Jun 2018 ![](https://blog.fbm.eu/hubfs/WHAT%20ARE%20THE%20NEW%20TRENDS%20IN%20COOKWARE%20HERE%20IS%20WHAT%20WE%20SAW%20AT%20MESSE%20FRANKFURT%20FBM%20LA%20TERMOPLASTIC-1.jpg) For those who want to understand **future [cookware trends](https://blog.fbm.eu/cookware-tendencies-you-should-consider)**[,](https://blog.fbm.eu/cookware-tendencies-you-should-consider)we would like mention one of the reference events for the industry, the **Ambiente Fair**, the large-scale exhibition dedicated to Consumer Goods and their trends, which was held last February in Frankfurt. Whether you plan **to launch a new collection** or prefer **to restyle a best-seller** which has become the flagship of your catalog, you have to keep an eye on the **latest news **and follow the **latest trends** in order to captivate the hearts of your current and future customers. So, let’s look at **the most significant and not-to-be-missed trends** in the Cookware market, as seen at Messe Frankfurt 2018!   [![Are you thinking about your next cookware collection? Get inspired by our free ebook "The Next Big Things in Cookware Trends!"](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4327729/645ae842-394c-46de-81f8-f628c7f448fc.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4327729/645ae842-394c-46de-81f8-f628c7f448fc) ## **NEW TRENDS THAT NEVER GROW OLD: WOOD AND STONE EFFECT**   *![handle FBM wood effects cookware trends](https://blog.fbm.eu/hs-fs/hubfs/handle%20FBM%20wood%20effects%20cookware%20trends.jpg?width=300&name=handle%20FBM%20wood%20effects%20cookware%20trends.jpg)***The Frankfurt exhibition featured handles with wood effects**, available in different versions and in different colored finishes, to match the product’s overall design. Although this is a well-known concept, there are **variations on the theme**. In many cases, for example, it was possible to see a wood-effect handle combined with **green colors**, including **bright wood effects**, suitable for collections inspired by **eco-friendly themes.** Among the great returns - although not a novelty for many manufacturers - was the **stone effect** that is now also admired and offered in new versions with **rough, porous or marble effects**. This is a good way to give substance to even the simplest pans that, even if they cannot be distinguished by a new  design, can use a touch of modernity.   ## **SOME INNOVATIONS THAT MAKE YOU THINK** While it is true that experts in the industry already recognize **the value of pot handles** and the finishes used for them, it is also true that **consumers are becoming more demanding** and require greater attention to **aesthetics and functionality** (especially in Europe). For this reason, it is increasingly necessary to learn how to carefully choose the types of handles for your collection of pots. ![cookware trends frankfurt messe2.](https://blog.fbm.eu/hs-fs/hubfs/cookware%20trends%20frankfurt%20messe2..jpg?width=241&name=cookware%20trends%20frankfurt%20messe2..jpg) In fact, it should not come as a surprise that consumers also pay greater attention to **materials**, which can enhance the product and also give the design that extra touch, without sacrificing safety.   ## **NEW MATERIALS AND NEW COLOR TRENDS** **Stone** and **diamond** have become essential elements, and for coatings, **earth brown and copper effects** stand out, which are elegant and are never banal.  Another interesting innovation is the introduction of **lines that resemble water**. When used in the coatings, these lines convey the idea of movement and fluidity - and **handles in shades of blue and blue** are particularly engaging.   ## **FUNCTIONALITY** There is also **the refinement of detail** for an increasingly **“smart” kitchen**. Small spaces and increasingly smaller rooms have also led to **the optimization of kitchen utensils** that are now available with **pull-out handles**. These handles played **a leading rol**e in this edition of the Fair. In conclusion, the basic idea of the innovations presented at the Fair is that it is possible **to combine high-technology and functionality** in products having the elegance of a retro-chic or country collection. ![FBM Handle forte compact cookware trends](https://blog.fbm.eu/hs-fs/hubfs/FBM%20Handle%20forte%20compact%20cookware%20trends.jpg?width=300&name=FBM%20Handle%20forte%20compact%20cookware%20trends.jpg) Materials like **metal and wood** do not lose their charm over the years. On the contrary, they become bearers of traditional values that allow users to **fully experience** the warm and friendly spirit that pots and pans can convey. The **designer handle** has now become the spokesperson for a story - your story!    [![The Next Big Things in Cookware Trends! Download Our Free Ebook >](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4327729/3cf5bd0e-6ad2-4cc2-ae0e-e576ca355b0f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4327729/3cf5bd0e-6ad2-4cc2-ae0e-e576ca355b0f)     - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Topics: [Trends](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/trends), [Events](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/events) ### Recent Posts ### Recent Posts ### Categories ### Posts by Tag - [Products (59)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/products) - [Trends (31)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/trends) - [Brand (28)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/brand) - [Cookware Consultant (26)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/cookware-consultant) - [Corporate (24)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/corporate) - [Sustainable cookware (22)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/sustainable-cookware) - [Events (19)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/events) - [Detachable Handles (10)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/detachable-handles) - [Materials (8)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/materials) - [Market Insights (7)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/market-insights) - [Antibacterial Cookware (4)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/antibacterial-cookware) - [Safety & Regulation (4)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/safety-regulation) - [Silicone Handles (4)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/silicone-handles) - [Heat Resistance (2)](https://blog.fbm.eu/tag/heat-resistance) See all » ### Search ### Most Popular ![La Termoplastic®, F.B.M.®](https://blog.fbm.eu/hs-fs/hubfs/LaTermoplasticFBM_March2018/Layout/logo.png?width=180&height=50&name=logo.png "La Termoplastic®, F.B.M.®") La Termoplastic®, F.B.M.® and other product names are an exclusive property of LA TERMOPLASTIC F.B.M.
