A Festive Table with JELLO
When the table is set for a feast, JELLO is in its element. The glass cakes were inspired by historic jelly moulds and the dessert tables of the past, so a group of them in the middle of the table feels a little like a banquet before the food has even arrived.

Build a centrepiece
JELLO comes in five sizes, S, H, M, L and XL: low and wide, tall, ribbed or with a pointed top. Mixing sizes and combining transparent colours with creamy, opaque ones gives a centrepiece its rhythm. The colours are named after desserts, from rose milk and cherry cream to raspberry and pistachio cream, so choosing them is half the fun.

Something sweet underneath
A JELLO can cover pralines, petits fours, fruit or a small cake until it is time for dessert. Lifting the glass becomes a small moment of surprise. And after the party, the JELLOs stay: on a sideboard, a shelf or a dressing table.

A gift for the hosts
For people who love cake and design alike, a JELLO is a gift that lasts longer than the dessert. Each one is hand-blown by Torsten Rötzsch in Germany, then cut and polished by Petr Slavík in the Czech Republic, so no two are exactly the same.
