Leading Dutch designer Marcel Wanders has created porcelain, glassware, cutlery, linen and a tray for KLM's World Business Class.

Dutch airline company KLM is embracing its heritage by choosing characteristically Dutch creative Marcel Wanders for the redesign of their business class tableware. Comprising a tray, glassware, cutlery and plates, the set was designed with both cabin crew and the environment in mind, as the weight of the set has been kept to a minimum.

"One of my long-standing wishes has been fulfilled," says Wanders about the introduction of the new service. "As a frequent flyer with KLM it was easy to get a feel for the project. I'm confident that this new tableware collection matches the quality standard expected from a business class flight."
