2020 inspired home show cancelled by coronavirus covid-19 concerns.

Mar 2, 2020

after careful consideration regarding the ongoing spread of covid-19 (coronavirus) overseas and recent cases in the united states, the international housewares association‘s board of directors has decided not to hold the inspired home show 2020, scheduled to take place 14-17 march 2020 at mccormick place in chicago.

“for the last several weeks, we have been watching this situation very carefully, with our primary concern being the safety and well-being of the home + housewares industry,” said derek miller, iha president. “the iha board of directors made this decision after consulting with industry constituents including exhibitors and retailers. in the end, the global nature of our event, combined with the worldwide concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak and ongoing travel restrictions make it impossible for us to hold the inspired home show next week.”

the iha board of directors and iha staff will be working together over the next several weeks to measure the financial impact on the industry and the association. once an analysis is complete, additional information regarding exhibitor refunds will be made available.

iha had previously announced that the international sourcing expo, which primarily houses chinese-based suppliers, would not open in 2020 due to the restrictions on travel between china and the united states.

the inspired home show 2021 will be held march 13-16 at chicago’s mccormick place complex.

the international housewares association is the 82-year-old voice of the housewares industry, which accounted for (us)$394.3 billion at retail worldwide in 2018. the not-for-profit, full-service association sponsors the world’s premier exposition of products for the home, the inspired home show, iha’s global home + housewares market (theinspiredhomeshow.com), and offers its 1,400 member companies a wide range of services, including industry and government advocacy, export assistance, industry and consumer trends through the iha market watch, executive management peer groups, a b2b community at www.housewares.org, group buying discounts on business solutions services and direct-to-consumer engagement through theinspiredhome.com.

Must-see at ambiente frankfurt housewares show.

Jan 28, 2012

The upcoming Ambiente Frankfurt, better known to all of us in the US as the Frankfurt housewares show, will host 4,500 exhibitors over four days. To see them all you’d have to stop by 1,125 booths each day. But there is one section of the show that operates on a much smaller scale.

There are just eight participants in A MANO, a group of artisans producing high-grade hand-made goods – a must-see at Ambiente, and, I expect, a much needed relief from the slick, mass production of the rest of the consumer goods at the show. Here are three standouts from the bunch – the others are so small-scale they don’t have websites, so you’ll have to see those for yourself.

Atelier Berthold Hoffman, Germany (image above)

Located in Nuremburg since 1985, Hoffman specializes in cast iron cooking pots and gorgeous silverware.



 Ingrid Donhauser Glaswerkstatt, Germany

Located in the Bavarian Forest, Donhauser make hand-blown, free form glass objects. mostly brightly colored bowls and cups but also intricately worked vases.


TWO PEOPLE, Poland

Though their website doesn’t work in English (and only barely seems to work in Polish), from what I can tell from the images, their ceramics seem to be a mix of traditional Polish and Japanese motifs.
