Trends in Glassware Design: What's New in 2025?

As the hospitality industry continues to evolve, glassware design trends in 2025 are becoming more innovative, functional, and aesthetically appealing. At LAV Horeca, we are committed to providing products that align with these emerging trends, offering high-quality glassware solutions to modern horeca professionals. In 2025, we see trends that balance functionality, sustainability, and creativity, enhancing both the drinking experience and operational efficiency for hospitality businesses. Let’s explore the key trends in glassware design and how our collections reflect these exciting changes.

Sustainability: A Key Value for the Future

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword; it’s a core value shaping business decisions across industries. In 2025, the drive to reduce environmental impact is stronger than ever, with a clear shift toward eco-friendly glassware.

At LAV Horeca, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. A key part of our commitment lies in efficient water use throughout the production process. By employing advanced water-saving technologies, we’re able to reduce our environmental footprint while producing high-quality glassware and conserving one of the planet’s most precious resources.

Furthermore, LAV Horeca stands as the world’s most energy- and water-efficient glassware manufacturer. Our production methods ensure minimal energy consumption, and we maintain water usage levels that are significantly below the industry average—making a meaningful contribution to the reduction of our overall environmental impact.

Durability: Strengthening Glassware for Long-Term Use

In addition to aesthetic and functional qualities, durability remains a top priority for hospitality businesses. Glassware must withstand the demanding environments of bars, restaurants, and other hospitality venues where breakage and wear are inevitable. Durable glassware minimizes the need for replacements, which helps reduce long-term costs and operational disruptions.

LAV Horeca’s collections, such as Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Colmar, Sardinia, Cadiz, Rotterdam etc. incorporate high-quality materials designed for long-lasting use. These glasses are not only resistant to breakage but also withstand temperature fluctuations, making them ideal for both hot and cold beverages. Investing in durable glassware ensures that businesses can offer their customers a seamless experience while minimizing the environmental impact of wasteful replacements.

Optimizing Space with Stackable Glassware

Space efficiency is crucial for horeca businesses, especially those operating in smaller venues or high-density areas. Stackable glassware has emerged as a solution to this challenge. Stackable designs allow for efficient storage without sacrificing style. In addition to being functional, stackable glassware can enhance the venue's overall design, ensuring that every piece serves both practical and decorative purposes.

LAV Horeca’s Istanbul series exemplifies this trend. These glasses are designed to be neatly stacked, helping to save valuable storage space. Despite their practical design, the Istanbul glasses do not compromise on style. Whether you’re serving cocktails, soft drinks, or other beverages, the Istanbul series provides a space-efficient, yet aesthetically pleasing solution for horeca businesses looking to maximize storage without sacrificing elegance.

Artistic Glassware Designs

In 2025, there's a clear shift towards glassware that stands out. Artisanal designs, bold shapes, and intricate textures are becoming increasingly popular in the horeca sector. Businesses are embracing unique glassware that adds personality, enhances the dining experience, and offers a visual treat to customers. The focus is on creating a memorable atmosphere with every detail, from food and drink to presentation.

The Archie collection from LAV Horeca is a prime example of this trend. With its creative shapes and textures, the Archie glasses add an element of sophistication and artistry to any venue. Whether in a fine dining restaurant or a trendy bar, the Archie collection elevates the experience by turning every drink into a visual masterpiece. These glasses are perfect for establishments looking to make a statement and provide a memorable and stylish experience.

Versatility in Glassware

As menus diversify, establishments need glassware that can serve a range of beverages, from wine and whiskey to specialty cocktails and soft drinks. Multi-functional glassware helps streamline operations by reducing the need for different types of glasses, simplifying inventory management, and improving efficiency.
LAV Horeca’s collections such as Edinburgh and Archie are designed with versatility in mind. Both collections offer glasses that seamlessly transition from whiskey to cocktails, providing flexibility in various settings. By using multi-functional glassware, businesses can save space and reduce inventory without compromising quality or design. This versatility makes the Edinburgh and Archie collections an excellent choice for establishments with diverse menus seeking a consistent aesthetic across their glassware.

Fine Rim Glassware: Elevating the Drinking Experience

The trend for fine-rimmed glasses is on the rise in 2025. These glasses are becoming increasingly popular in upscale venues due to their elegance and the enhanced sensory experience they provide. The delicate rims not only contribute to the visual appeal but also play a crucial role in enhancing the drinking experience. Fine rims help enhance the aroma and taste of beverages, making each sip feel more refined.
At LAV Horeca, our Paris and Vienna series feature precision-cut rims that offer a refined, elegant drinking experience. These fine-rimmed glasses are ideal for high-end restaurants, cocktail bars, and other upscale establishments where attention to detail is essential. The delicate rims amplify the sensory qualities of drinks, providing a sophisticated touch to every beverage.

Colored and Patterned Glassware: Personalizing the Dining Experience

While clear glass remains a classic choice, 2025 sees a rise in the popularity of colored and patterned glassware. These designs add personality and flair to the dining experience, especially for businesses targeting younger, trend-savvy customers. Colored and patterned glasses create a vibrant atmosphere, perfect for casual dining, bars, and events.

LAV Horeca offers customizable glassware options to cater to this trend. We provide a range of glasses with unique hues and intricate patterns that can be tailored to meet specific branding or event needs. Whether for a corporate event, special occasion, or to create a signature brand look, these customizable glasses allow businesses to enhance their service and leave a lasting impression on their guests.
