It may look jolly good glammed up in a formal setting but Kartell's Jellies collection by Patricia Urquiola is equally at home outdoors as it is indoors. Perfect for entertaining, it's made in several delicate colours from transparent PMMA plastic and includes stemware, chargers, bowls, trays, carafes, plates and vases... everything, in fact, that you'd need to set an extra special holiday table. Prices start at $35 for a small bowl, from Kartell.
