The art of the table is evolving—and with it, everything that revolves around the daily ritual of cooking, hosting, and sharing. In Frankfurt, from February 6-10, 2026, the Dining area at Ambiente will once again be the heart and soul of the fair: an international point of reference for those seeking to discover the latest table and kitchen products in a rapidly evolving market.
From sustainable materials to professional formats, from the most refined dish and tableware collections to technological solutions for the home and hospitality, the showcase continues to evolve and expand to meet fluid, cross-cutting lifestyles that are increasingly focused on the quality of the experience.
A global perspective on the Dining world
Dining’s area is organized into different product sectors to provide a complete and well-structured overview. The main ones include:
- Table & Table Select, with the best selection for the art of the table
- Cook & Cut, dedicated to utensils and accessories for prep
- Modern Kitchen & Baking, with a focus on the modern kitchen and small appliances
- Clean Home & Storage Solutions, smart solutions for domestic organization
The offering is rounded out by the HoReCa section for professional food service and Global Sourcing, an essential platform for buyers and international retailers seeking competitive solutions and inspiration from around the world.
HoReCa and professional hospitality
The HoReCa area once again stands out this year for its ability to anticipate the needs of the professional hospitality world. In this space, the contract, hotel, and food service sectors will find solutions designed to combine efficiency, atmosphere, and sustainability.
From restaurant dishware to cookware for professional kitchens and smart equipment for hotels and contemporary bistros, the vision is clear: flexible, long-lasting solutions that are aligned with the needs of the sector.
The table as a reflection of our times
Ambiente Dining is not only a product showcase, but an evolving narrative of everyday living. The kitchen is increasingly a hybrid, emotional, and connected room; the table, a place that reflects our identity and values. And once again, the fair reaffirms itself as the ideal vantage point for understanding how the world is changing—starting with what we put on our plate.
