Festive Dining Trends 2025: Michelin-Inspired Tableware for the Holiday Season

As Dubai prepares for another glittering festive season, the spotlight turns to the dining table where style meets culinary artistry. From fine-dining restaurants on the Palm to private villa gatherings, hosts are embracing festive dining tableware that blends sophistication with creativity. Inspired by the world’s finest restaurants, 2025 is the year of Michelin star tableware – refined, timeless pieces that transform each meal into an experience worth remembering.

At 1765 The Store, every collection celebrates the art of dining – merging craftsmanship, innovation, and storytelling to help you create unforgettable tablescapes this holiday season.

Elevated Minimalism Meets Opulence

This season, minimalism takes a luxurious turn. Think soft ivory porcelain, muted colour palettes, and delicate gold or platinum detailing that catch the light without overpowering the plate.

In Dubai’s fine-dining scene, subtle elegance is the new statement. Chefs and restaurateurs are favouring inspiring Michelin star tableware that complements the artistry of their dishes – clean silhouettes with just enough shimmer to reflect the festive mood. The result is a table setting that feels both modern and memorable, perfect for the city’s vibrant restaurant landscape.

Artisan Touches and Bespoke Details

Craftsmanship continues to shape the way we dine. This year, handmade details and custom finishes take centre stage, with each piece designed to tell a story. 

From imperfectly glazed stoneware to hand-painted accents, these tactile touches add warmth and personality to the festive table.

At 1765 The Store, our team partners with global artisans and premium restaurant tableware suppliers to curate collections that celebrate individuality. Every plate, bowl, and platter becomes part of the experience – adding depth and authenticity to fine dining and home entertaining alike.

Layering Textures and Colour Accents

Texture is the language of design this year. Combining porcelain, stoneware, and glassware creates layers that bring dimension to the festive table. Deep blues, emerald greens, and soft neutrals dominate the palette, mirroring Dubai’s cosmopolitan aesthetic and the region’s natural tones.

Layering allows chefs and hosts to play with contrast – matte against gloss, smooth against grain – creating visual movement across the table. It’s an effortless way to elevate presentation and enhance the sensory experience of every meal.

Michelin-Inspired Dining in Dubai

Dubai’s culinary evolution has placed design at the heart of fine dining. Michelin-recognised chefs across the city are proving that presentation is as vital as taste – and Michelin star tableware is their canvas. Each collection reflects precision, artistry, and attention to detail, transforming simple plating into a visual journey.


At 1765 The Store, we understood this philosophy. As a trusted restaurant tableware supplier, we work closely with leading brands and designers to bring world-class collections to Dubai’s hospitality professionals and discerning hosts. Our pieces are chosen not only for their craftsmanship but for their ability to tell a story through design.
