New Rituals of Welcoming at Home
Social Formats: Elevating the Table Experience
On this fertile ground, new social formats have blossomed - ones that not only inspire but also shape behavior. Monthly dinner parties and themed evenings are more than just appealing labels: they create regular occasions that strengthen relationships. Themed dinners, in particular, provide a narrative framework that weaves together food, aesthetics, and storytelling - ideal for those who wish to transform a simple meal into a memorable experience (one easily shared across social feeds).
At the same time, a micro-industry of support is flourishing: tablescaping, the “art of setting the table,” arranging accessories, linens, and tableware to create a magazine-worthy atmosphere. In essence, social media has not invented the dinner, but it has repositioned it at the center - as a creative, performative, and shareable act that blends conviviality and aesthetics, bringing the flavor of a star-studded restaurant into the home.
Designing Home Spaces for Hospitality
This social transformation is clearly reflected in the way contemporary domestic environments are designed and equipped. The open-plan layout - with the kitchen seamlessly flowing into the living area - and the kitchen island have become architectural tools for connection: no longer barriers between those who cook and those who sit, but a shared stage for conversation, where culinary gestures naturally become part of the evening’s spectacle.
Outdoor areas are being reimagined as livable extensions of the home, with terraces and gardens outfitted for al fresco cooking whenever the climate allows. Increasingly, homes also feature dedicated bar corners and hobby rooms, complemented by a wide array of furnishings designed to facilitate hospitality and make the home more inviting. For those who love to host, such design choices foster encounters and sharing in a more spontaneous and effortless manner.
Michelin-Star Performances at Home
As the home increasingly takes on the form and spirit of a Michelin-starred restaurant, it becomes essential to rely on tools that genuinely support the host. Advanced appliances are no longer mere aids but true partners in performance: a professional oven for home, such as SuperOven, enables chef-level results without the fear of mistakes, alleviating the performance anxiety that often accompanies hosting a dinner. Many of these appliances are now paired with dedicated applications - for example, the Unox Casa App, which offers users an exclusive gallery of video recipes and the opportunity to follow, step by step, the techniques of the world’s finest chefs.
In this way, hostingcore is no longer limited to an aesthetic exercise or a test of skill; it becomes an instructive, communal, and profoundly exclusive experience. Thanks to technologies that simplify even the most complex processes, the art of entertaining is renewed and expanded: cooking becomes a creative and inclusive act, seamlessly uniting beauty, sharing, and quality.
