deSter, the Belgian designer and manufacturer of aviation and foodservice packaging, and Riyadh Air have partnered to co-create a signature tableware collection launching with the airline’s first commercial flights in 2026.
The collection combines sustainable design, multifunctionality, and elegant styling to deliver a cohesive experience across both Business and Economy cabins.
The Business Cabin collection includes a breadbasket designed for both elegance and practicality, which anchors the table setting, while salt and pepper sets draw inspiration directly from iconic Riyadh landmarks.
The standout element is the caviar service pairing: a dedicated caviar bowl paired with a delicate cloche, creating what deSter positions as “a truly elevated service moment.”
A lavender-tinted tumbler provides a distinctive accent, while a signature “canopy twist” detail runs across the entire collection, creating a cohesive design experience.
In the economy cabin, Riyadh Air will offer a fully reusable setup featuring closed-loop recyclable materials and one of the industry’s first reusable tumblers, finished in 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.” – Nicholas De Nijs, Regional Vice President Middle East & Indian Subcontinent at deSter.
