I’ve been working with glassware for over 15 years, from glass vases and candle holders to drinkware and home décor pieces. I enjoy helping customers bring their ideas to life through custom designs (OEM/ODM) and making sure they get stylish, reliable glass products for everyday use or special occasions.

2025 was a milestone year for the global glassware industry, with exhibitions in Europe, China, and the USA showcasing sustainable design, artistic craftsmanship, and market innovation. Discover key highlights from 2025 and a preview of 2026 trends — from modern glass vases and candle holders to new inspirations shaping global home décor.

Sustainability as a Core Design Value

Eco-conscious production dominated every major fair. Brands showcased recycled materials, energy-saving furnaces, and zero-waste packaging, responding to global calls for sustainability.

Artistic & Functional Fusion

2025 saw the rise of glass as art — decorative pieces that also serve a purpose. The trend leaned toward organic shapes, textured finishes, and dual-use home décor.

Technology Meets Craftsmanship

In the U.S. market, technology influenced new designs — from LED-integrated candle holders to sensor-based glass lamps that merge modern living with handmade beauty.
