David Zrike Welcomes Buyers to the Tabletop Show at Forty One Madison
September 19, 2022
Nice to see industry friend David Zrike in the new issue of Tableware Today. In David’s article, he reminds us of the magic that happens at shows and welcomes us to join him and industry colleagues at the October Tabletop Show. 

In the issue, there is also a nice advertisement for the Tabletop Association, which David leads. Of the 48 brands displayed in the ad, Bridge has partnerships with 17 (35%).  Products from these 17 brands, which total more than 24,000 products, can be...

January 13, 2022
Roger Bailey, sale rep extraordinaire, shared these 2013 pictures with me.  They’re taken outside the 41 Madison building. Since it’s 19° in NYC this week, these pics make us long for a warm day when we can bike to a market.

41 Madison and the NYC Marathon
November 22, 2021
Did you know there is a connection between the NYC marathon and 41 Madison? 41 Madison, home of the New York Tabletop Show, is owned by the Rudin family, and the family helped start the NYC Marathon.  The Times shared this history in an article recently. Excerpt:

"...In 1976 when George Spitz, a civil servant and runner, proposed a marathon through all five boroughs, the time seemed almost right — if daunting. “A race like that could cost $15,000,” Mr. Lebow ...

41 Madison: Vista Alegre
October 7, 2021
Nice to see Daniel Silva from Vista Alegre.  Daniel took time to show me why Vista Alegre is the “top banana” of Portuguese tableware. Vista Alegre commissioned 46 illustrators to design espresso cups based on a story.  The pieces are very creative.

41 Madison: Deshoulieres

I received a kind tour of the Deshoulieres line by sales manager Virginie DeToustain.

I also spotted a Bridge table tent in the showroom. The table tent lets retailers know that the brand is easy to sell online. :)

Remember In-store, Branded Displays? We've Made Them Digital
March 24, 2021
For decades, brands have paid retailers to set up a display in the retailers' stores. Ralph Lauren's Polo, Nautica, Jimmy Choo, and other leading brands have paid department stores to set up displays and manage their brand appearance. This helps the brand and the stores increase sales.  

As we all know, retail has gone digital. Thirty percent of retail sales are now online. What if there was a way for brands to sponsor displays like these physical ones but do so online?   ...

When we visit the New York Tabletop Show next month, it's fun to think about what was there before. One hundred years ago, there was a giant entertainment complex across the street from 41 Madison: Madison Square Garden. Yes, that Madison Square Garden.  Years later, it would move uptown.

Wayfair had about 4 buyers visiting 41 Madison showrooms last week. While the building and showrooms love buyers, I'd suggest some caution with Wayfair since it’s hemorrhaging money.
Check out the attached graph.

The Head of the Rudin Center for Transportation Policy says it’s now easier and cheaper to order things online than go in the store.

The Rudin Center for Transportation is part of New York University, and is named after Lewis Rudin—the developer of the wholesale building 41 Madison.

If online is better according to the head of the Rudin Center, what is the Rudin family—which owns 41 Madison—doing to help tenants and visitors adapt to this fact?

This holiday season more shoppers will shop online ...
