Inspired by the masterpieces of Murano artisans and defined by a skilful balance of different materials, Jelly is the modern side table, able to decorate and enhance the living spaces of your home. The wood, essential character of every Porada design, is featured in a solid wooden cylinder in canaletta walnut – natural or in moka or wengé stained –to convey more solidity to the frame.
The three-leg base, in black chromed metal or in brushed brass, evokes the same finish of the central element, nestled like a jewel on the oval or round top.
The cast glass top is available in a clear or smoked finish for a more sophisticated look, or in a fancier green glass colour, to add a touch of glow and a contemporary twist. Jelly also features a marble top, in grey Carnic or white Carrara, with lowered surface.
