Icelandair, in collaboration with Kaelis, is introducing a new tableware collection inspired by Iceland’s stunning landscapes, aiming to elevate Business Class dining with artistic, nature-infused designs.

Icelandair is unveiling a visionary new tableware concept developed in partnership with Kaelis that aims to redefine Business Class dining, inspired by the awe-inspiring natural landscapes of Iceland. This fresh approach to onboard service design draws deeply from the country’s dramatic contrasts – volcanoes and glaciers, black sands and icy waters, mossy fields and lava plains – each element woven into the very shapes, textures and colours of the crockery itself.

Every item, from the main plate to the butter bowl, has been thoughtfully crafted to echo Iceland’s raw and poetic terrain. The ‘Water & Ice’ concept, one of the leading design narratives, aims to translate the serene beauty of Iceland’s glacial forms into minimalist pieces that balance elegance with durability.

Each service features a curated range of pieces designed to support every stage of the inflight dining journey. Leading the collection are the signature dessert and bread bowls, shaped by the contours and textures of glaciers. Main plates, side plates, casseroles, butter dishes, and finely balanced cups with cup plates complete the core set.

What sets this concept apart is its versatility. Designed to mix and match, the range includes various configurations adapted to different meal services – from full-course dinners to lighter options – while maintaining a cohesive, premium aesthetic. Icelandair’s commitment to a refined yet grounded passenger experience shines through, with every detail reflecting the airline’s dedication to thoughtful design and Icelandic identity.

This tableware concept is a statement of intent: a desire to elevate inflight dining beyond necessity into artistry. Through this collaboration, Icelandair takes a bold step toward a new standard in premium service – where nature, culture and innovation converge.
