Le Creuset names Bleu Riviera its Colour of the Season 2026. Jashanmal brings the collection to the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman first, giving you an early look at where kitchen color is heading this year.
The Story Behind the Color
The shade sits between blue and green, pulled from the water off the French Riviera. You will find it across Le Creuset’s enamelled cast iron cookware, on round casseroles, shallow casseroles, grill pans and skillets. Each piece finishes with a gold stainless steel knob, a small warm detail against the cool blue.
The Cookware in the Bleu Riviera Collection
Cast iron has carried Le Creuset’s name for over a century. Bleu Riviera puts that same material to work in a color built for everyday meals and for guests. Pair it with crisp white walls, warm neutral counters or a citrus accent, and the collection sits comfortably in almost any kitchen.
How the Color Fits Your Kitchen
Color in the kitchen has moved past function. A well chosen pot now sits out on open shelving or on the island the way a vase or a lamp might, part of the room rather than tucked away in a cabinet.
Vivid Accessories in Mono Color Homes
You see the same instinct across Dubai’s luxury homes. Walls, cabinetry and larger furniture stay in one calm, restrained tone, and one or two vivid pieces carry the color. A blue-green casserole on a pale counter, a bright glass vase on a neutral shelf, a single object does what a full palette once did.
Gergana, founder of Sterling Capital Real Estate, sees this in luxury apartments often. “Buyers ask for quiet, neutral interiors, then bring in one or two vivid pieces, often modern art, to give the room character. A piece like this casserole on an open shelf reads as a design choice, not clutter. The set sits well in a large house kitchen with a wide counter and a casual dining area. It brings a cheerful, energized mood to the space.”
Where to Find the Bleu Riviera Collection
Jashanmal has built toward moments like this since 1919, when Rao Sahib Jashanmal founded the company in Basra. The group now runs retail and distribution across the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and India, with a portfolio spanning Bally, BOSS, Dior Beauty, Porsche Design and Swatch alongside home and lifestyle brands.
The Bleu Riviera Collection is available at selected Jashanmal stores in Dubai’s malls while stock lasts.
