Glassette 2026 Summer Trend Report
Glassette's first seasonal trend report is here. For summer 2026, we've been watching the things quietly gathering momentum across interiors, homeware and food that haven't made headlines yet, but will.
Marbled
Marble is being reconsidered. Where it once signalled luxury - cool, untouchable, aspirational - it's now handled with a lighter touch and a more creative imagination. From marbled jellies to marbled bananas at Salone.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine is the colour of somewhere you'd rather be. It's been appearing across fashion, interiors and food styling with the kind of quiet insistence that signals a shift rather than a moment
Trolley Upgrade
The trolley has earned its place. Once relegated to the corner of a kitchen or the back of a hospitality supply catalogue, it's now being styled, considered and chosen with the same care as any other piece of furniture.
Rosettes
Rosettes are threading through everything. From piped food styling to gathered textiles, the motif is appearing with enough regularity to feel less like decoration and more like a design language. Ornate but not fussy, familiar but not tired.
Cantaloupe Summer
Cantaloupe is the shade of the season. Warm, slightly sun-faded, with a retro quality that sits somewhere between seventies kitchenware and a market in the south of France. We're seeing it in food styling with both sweet and savoury dishes.
Savoury Cakes
Savoury cakes are rewriting the centrepiece. Tiered, frosted, styled to look indistinguishable from their sweet counterparts, until you slice into herb cream cheese, smoked salmon or roasted vegetable. The appeal is partly the surprise, partly the presentation, and partly the permission it gives to take the table seriously without taking it too seriously.
Extravagant Jellies
Jellies have been making a comeback for a while now, but they're reaching new levels of extravagance. Think exaggerated forms, improbable heights and jewel-like colours. They nod to the elaborate moulded creations of Victorian dining tables while channelling the maximalist food styling of today. Wobbly, whimsical and wonderfully over-the-top, they're entirely unnecessary which is precisely the point.
