Underplate scale gives Kartell Jellies Family underplate Ø 33.5 cm. a framing role at the table, allowing the faceted technopolymer surface to sit beneath other pieces and strengthen the coordinated Jellies Family setting. The faceted surface catches and refracts light, creating subtle changes in depth as the setting evolves around it. Created by Patricia Urquiola for Kartell, the underplate combines the decorative quality of technopolymer with the practical requirements of contemporary tableware. Suitable for outdoor use and food contact, it is dishwasher safe and should not be used in a microwave. Available in crystal, light blue, green and pink, it can lend the table a luminous, understated quality or a more expressive touch of colour.

A distinctive presence beneath the tableware

The 33.5 cm diameter gives Jellies Family underplate a substantial presence, allowing its intricate relief to extend beyond the dimensions of the pieces placed above it. Rather than remaining visually secondary, the textured surface contributes its own decorative rhythm to the table, catching light and revealing the characteristic pattern of the collection. Within Kartell Tableware, this balance between expressive detail and practical performance makes the underplate suitable for refined residential interiors as well as boutique hospitality settings. Its generous scale also lends itself naturally to carefully composed dining arrangements.

Proportion and harmony in the dining setting

The generous dimensions of Jellies Family underplate Ø 33.5 cm make it particularly effective in layered table compositions, where scale and spacing help establish a sense of harmony. Its textured surface creates an engaging dialogue with plates, glassware and serving pieces, while the relief introduces depth without overwhelming the surrounding elements. As part of the Patricia Urquiola and Kartell collection, the underplate can be paired with other Jellies Family designs or contrasted with more restrained tableware. This versatility allows the same piece to adapt effortlessly from intimate meals to more elaborate hospitality presentations.

Material expression and the Jellies identity

The use of technopolymer gives the underplate a combination of lightness, resistance and optical depth, allowing Patricia Urquiola's distinctive surface language to extend across a generous format. Its role within plates reflects the broader Jellies approach, in which familiar tableware functions are transformed through expressive textures and contemporary materials. The underplate can also be coordinated with accessories from other Kartell collections, creating subtle connections between different forms and functions. Whether used as a decorative element or incorporated into a complete dining arrangement, its scale and faceted character bring an additional layer of sophistication to the table.
