New seat covers on A350 ?

Had a journey in Economy class on Asiana A350-900 recently, and I was surprised to see that the seat covers were changed to match the pattern on new Korean Air B787-10 and A321neo seats.



While many KE aircrafts (77W or A380) have undergone similar changes, I am yet to see similar patterns on OZ jets anywhere online, so was genuinely surprised when I board the aircraft

Integration continues. It was interesting to see this intermediate step. New seat fabrics in KE colors. Blanket still Asiana. It is a sign the A350s will be retained in the post merger Korean Airlines. Probably a good thing as the A350 is one of the best long haul planes.

KE has received some A350s in OZ's configuration, so the retention of A350s post-merger should be very promising

currently I don't see other signs of KE colours other than the seat, everything else (from the ceramic bowls for Ssambap to the little amenity kit) are still OZ-branded; but I'm fairly sure at some point when the blankets reach the end of their useful life, they'll coverage to KE ones, or a common design without name of the airline for the transition period?

It's happening fast. This seems a more interesting colour than the current dirty beige one. I wonder if they will (or have) update the IFE too
