Noritake has once again produced the ultimate in first class tableware, this time in collaboration with leading Australian designer David Caon.
Initially designed for first-class dining on Qantas Dreamliners and A380s, Caon describes his design for the dinnerware as being driven by elegance, ergonomics and ethical conscience.
“We were tasked with creating a very special inflight dining experience,” says Caon. “While the focus for the collection was to be beauty and functionality, Qantas asked that we also minimise its carbon footprint by reducing the weight of the range by 11 per cent.”
The result is a unique and timeless collection, crafted in fine bone china that features a minimal aesthetic that is both light and delicate to hold, yet extremely robust. The profile of each piece has been formed with the same 800mm arc, which can be seen from the arch on the cups through to the raised rims on the plates and platters. This curve, inspired by the Dreamliner interiors (also designed by Caon), creates a consistent design language across the entire collection.
This new dining set, crafted by Noritake in milky white bone china that has a lustrous sheen, is now available to all consumers via select retailers nationally.
Dinner plates, entrée plates and bowls are sold in sets of four while cups and saucers are in sets of two. All pieces are gift boxed.
Retail prices range from $109 to $260.
