deSter and Riyadh Air unveil signature tableware collection
The signature tableware collection
deSter has announced the launch of a signature tableware collection for Riyadh Air. Co-created by deSter and Riyadh Air, the collection reflects the airline’s bold vision for modern travel, combining elegant design, multifunctionality and sustainability, to deliver a seamless experience across all cabins.
"The collection is intentionally streamlined, with a number of versatile pieces that simplify operations, while elevating the passenger experience. It includes all the essentials for a complete service, with several highlights which stand out as expressions of Riyadh Air’s identity," reads the December 18 press release from deSter.
In the Business cabin, passengers will discover refined details such as a breadbasket designed for both elegance and practicality, salt and pepper sets inspired by iconic Riyadh landmarks, and a caviar bowl paired with a delicate cloche for a truly elevated service moment. A lavender-tinted tumbler adds a distinctive accent, while a subtle canopy twist detail runs across the entire collection, creating a cohesive design experience. In the Economy cabin, sustainability takes center stage with a reusable setup featuring closed-loop recyclable materials and one of the industry’s first reusable tumblers—also featuring the signature lavender hue.
“This collection is the result of true co-creation. Working closely with Riyadh Air, we combined our design expertise with their bold vision to craft pieces that feel premium, purposeful, and unmistakably theirs. Every detail was considered to create a dining experience that is as refined as it is functional—bringing the Riyadh Air brand to life on every table," said Nicholas De Nijs, Regional Vice President Middle East & Indian Subcontinent at deSter.
“It is not every day that a new airline takes flight, and we are proud to be a trusted partner in shaping Riyadh Air’s onboard experience from the very beginning. Co-developing this tableware range for both Premium and Main Cabins has been an exciting journey—one that reflects our shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and delivering exceptional quality to passengers worldwide," said Stef Van de Perre, President & Managing Director at deSter.
Riyadh Air was founded with a bold ambition: to redefine the future of air travel through modern hospitality, advanced technology and a passenger-first mindset.
“Our collaboration with deSter has delivered another tangible element of our vision to reimagine the air travel passenger experience,” said Vincent Coste, CCO at Riyadh Air. “Their thoughtful and modern interpretations of air travel drinking and dining essentials both reflect Riyadh Air’s identity and our commitment to sustainability.”
The tableware will debut with Riyadh Air’s first commercial flights in 2026.
