Art in the bowl of Sweet and Savory is a celebration for the eyes
and the human palate.
​
Human beings have been gifted the art of creation by the Master Creator of the Universe. All that we are is His stellar creation, endowed and sent to be masterful creators and artists in the visuals of life, on the footprints of time and space. Art in its purest form celebrates the joys of creation in form and structure. Each day artists all over the world express this form within the keen solitude of the heart and mind that illuminates the corners of our senses.

Art in the Bowl of Sweet and Savory
Richard Roseman Airborne Design
Sculptors of Glass and the Palate
In this article of PersonaLuxe Style, I choose to edify two delicate forms of art, each form reflecting its own brilliance, one in the hands of the Virtuoso Sculptor of Murano glass Candy Bowls, that delights and moves the sense of touch and the other a Maestro of Chocolate that lives to court our distinct and singular palate. However, this romantic union in artistry can only be experienced when they are paired together in a sublime symphony of presentation.

The Virtuoso of Murano Glass
Candy Bowls
Karim Rashid, the Egyptian born, bright and adroit sculptor is known for creating stunning, contemporary irregular works of Murano glass candy bowls. It is the bold colors and shapes of these bowls that brilliantly reflect light in a way that makes them stand out as creative works of art at home on a coffee table or on a private jet.
Of course there is your favorite candy. No flight dare be without confections.
But there is "eye candy" as well. The vessel you place your sweets in should always properly announce the offering.

Many owners prefer to buy from brands whose quality and style they're familiar with - and there is a universe of amazing options. But for a select group of buyers, at given locations within the cabin, they opt for fully custom pieces — one-off designs, crafted in small fabrication studios.
The candy tazza here, dubbed TRIVECIA, was designed by Richard Roseman Airborne Design and fabricated via 5-axis CNC by Fain Models in Texas. It is one of a pair of bowls hard-mounted on two opposing credenza's in a BBJ Max 8.
In one respect at least, customs do what off-the-shelf pieces simply can't. They ensure that you will never see them anywhere else...that the design belongs only to your aircraft and resides as a carefully planned extension of your aircraft's cabin architecture, an adornment expressly designed to your own persona and the 'cabin vibe' you're trying to project.
In looking at the myriad luxury brands of candy bowls that grace the savories and sweets for private jets, I choose to honor and recognize our very own designer and Founder, Rick Roseman of Jet Cabin Magazine, who has spent almost half his life as an interior designer for private jets. Reflecting on his role as a designer for private jet interiors, it made me realize that an accomplished designer never fully surrenders a discipline to a single niche, and is always seeking to expand his/her footprint into new spaces.
Today, we see this even in the fashion industry, where designers who once designed couture for the runway, have entered the world of home and lifestyle interiors. Burberry patterned checks on floor tiles, Ralph Lauren blankets and sheets, are just some of the designers who have chosen to let their brand move seamlessly from the catwalk to the bedroom and bath interiors of high end homes.
Rick Rosen, a very accomplished designer for private jets, chose to extend his creativity to include cabin amenities, designing several contemporary candy bowls for his private jet clients. Yes, Rick is indeed a gentleman of many subtle and hidden talents.

"...and as we climbed out above the tangerine clouds, the coastline fading from view, our mutton barely cleared, out came a caboodle of theatrical chocolates. Our crossing was set as I wondered...how had we ever come so far?"
Onboard the World of
Private Jet Amenities
In the world of luxury, particularly in closed spaces such as private jet cabins, special attention is given to how we welcome and influence our guests as they walk onboard, recognizing the simple things that make the journey memorable.
As the guests make their way and settle into their seats, what catches their eyes most often is a beautiful bowl of candy as they board the aircraft. On a business trip, executives rarely look forward to a sumptuous meal; instead it is the small bites that satiate their palate, as they start to engage with their team, focused on a purposeful goal. Yet, the executive with a discerning eye still observes the smaller details in greeting, and touches that go beyond meeting his/her needs.
It is here that the art of presentation sets the stage for a memorable journey that will be savored and remembered long after the wheels touch down the runway.
Imagine for a moment, serving savories of Marcona Almonds in one of Rick Rosen’s artistically designed candy bowls, or a Läderach artistic couverture creation resembling the Eiffel Tower, a violin or a timepiece (created by the Maestro, Elias Läderach a third generation member of the Läderach family), paired with a dessert served in one of Karim Rashid’s spectacular Murano Glass bowls.
These are what inflight dreams and beauty are made of, that elevate the journey of flying on a private jet and goes beyond arriving at a destination on time.
It is moments such as these that can act as catalysts for creative observation, offering executives the space to consider objective perspectives while analyzing an irregular object of creation like Karim Rashid’s candy bowl. In many instances, just a small deviation often holds the key to a breakthrough in a business situation that can bring about a positive solution.
Influence of Observation
This caused me to think of Alexander Zverev who recently won his first Grand Slam title at the 2026 Roland Garros Tennis Championship. In his interview, Alexander mentioned that the intense mental stress and focus of a deep desire to win, in addition to the physical toll led him to cramp, and he commented that the cramp acted as a deviation that took his focus away from the stress of winning to focus on the cramp instead, and in an unusual moment it contributed to easing the mental stress that helped calm him down and play naturally and skillfully that eventually helped him win the championship.
