New energy-saving appliances and sustainable housewares revealed for the RKW showcase

RKW has announced its show plans for Exclusively Housewares, the UK’s premier showcase of housewares, tableware and small domestic appliances. From the 14-15th June at the Business Design Centre, London, visitors will be able to catch the latest products at RKW’s two stands – one featuring its biggest distribution brands (EH456) and one for its flagship own-brand, Tower (EH402).

RKW (EH456)

The RKW stand showcases the latest innovations from the distributor’s biggest UK brands. Visitors can expect to see award-winning products and never-before-seen launches from SMEG, Lavazza, Laura Ashley, BLACK+DECKER, Hoover, Russell Hobbs, Emma Bridgewater and The Funky Appliance Company.

Tower (EH402)

Celebrating its 110th birthday at this year’s showcase, Tower will host exclusive new designs, ranges and colourways to mark the special milestone. There will be brand-new launches based around key interior trends for 2023, alongside must-stock cookware collections launching for the first time at the show – you will not want to miss out this year!

Precision Plus

Precision Plus introduces best in class bakeware and kitchen tools & gadgets. Aluminised steel bakeware accessories – including baking trays, roasting pans and cake tins – all use Tower’s superior Black Diamond non-stick coating that is 7 times stronger than other bakeware coatings.

Durablade stainless steel gadgets provide longer-lasting durability, while the nylon tools feature enhanced resistance to high temperatures, odours and discolouration to enhance longevity. All tools & gadgets are BPA-free and come complete with ergonomic Softtex handles for cool and comfortable use.

As an incentive for retailers investing in Precision Plus, orders with RKW are eligible for a bespoke free-standing display unit. The FSDU smartly displays over 50 individual SKUs from bakeware and tools & gadgets to maximise sales in-store. To find out if your order is eligible, please contact the RKW sales team directly or reach out to your representative at the show.

Barbary & Oak

Barbary & Oak brings fashion-forward tableware, cookware and serveware to Exclusively. Hoxton ash wood homewares, reactive glaze Relic Mugs, and Verona terracotta tableware are among a few of the new collections at the show. The distinctive designs all share colour palettes, textures and characteristics of the highly desired ‘Homestead’ trend for 2023.

Barbary & Oak and Tower products are set to appear at Exclusively’s official Trend Showcase this year, introducing new colourways and designs based around the key interior trends for next year. Please visit the show website for more information.

Natural Life

Natural Life is a new sustainable housewares brand launched alongside Tower’s eco initiative – encouraging consumers to embrace more sustainable products in the home. These eco-friendly cleaning and storage collections move away from single-use plastics, using carefully considered materials such as fully biodegradable beech wood brush handles and recycled glass storage.

Supporting reforestation efforts across the globe, Natural Life pledges a percentage of profit from every sale to WeForest to help ‘Make Earth Cooler’ with trees. Tower is committed to working with retailers to supply more sustainable alternatives to consumers in the UK, whilst contributing to climate positive projects that make a difference.

Air Fryers

Britain’s favourite air frying brand is back at Exclusively with innovative new models that make it easier than ever for consumers to cook delicious, healthy meals. The Vortx Steam Air Fryer introduces intuitive steam cooking and self-cleaning functions, refining the user experience for today’s time-poor consumers.

Vortx Dual Basket Air Fryers and the Good Housekeeping-endorsed Xpress Air Frying range will also be at the show, demonstrating the best-loved features and benefits that make Tower air fryers a hit with millions of customers.

Vortx and Xpress Air Fryers are Tower’s number one ‘Energy Savers’ for consumers looking to cut down on their electricity consumption, cooking food 30% faster than conventional ovens to save on costly time and energy. Look out for the ‘Energy Saver’ badge on all Tower appliances at the show to see how the brand is helping consumers shop smarter and save money.

Vizion

The Vizion range has been designed to ‘cook with clarity’ across a selection of Tower appliances. Vizion Basket Air Fryers introduce a stylish, clear viewing window to show when food is finished cooking. This innovative feature saves time and energy in the kitchen, removing the hassle of opening up the frying basket to check on ingredients.

Tower has also implemented this design in its wider appliance ranges, launching a Vizion Soup Maker with a clear glass body, intelligent control systems and overfill sensors to make mealtimes easier than ever.

Tower Collections

Renowned for its coordinated housewares and SDA collections, Tower has taken its stylish designs a step further for Exclusively. Never-before-seen collections – Solitaire and Heritage –will be launched exclusively at the show.

New colourways for its best-selling collections will also make an appearance, bringing the latest interior trends to market across a selection of highly sought colour options.
