Nienke Sikkema for HKLIVING Jewel Glass Dessert Stand, Emerald Green

This sculptural glass dessert stand is a study in contradiction. The base, built from the collection's signature gem-like stacked forms, draws the eye on its own, catching light and throwing it back in soft, faceted reflections. Once something's placed on top, the focus shifts upward, letting whatever you're serving take centre stage.

It comes with a small decorative glass piece in the same stacked-gem style, which can be positioned anywhere on the plate, off to one side, or left off altogether, depending on how you're using the stand. With it in place, it works beautifully as a sculptural display piece; move it aside and the full plate is free for serving.

Designed in collaboration with glass artist Nienke Sikkema for HKLIVING, it's part of a wider collection of glass objects that feel like contemporary gemstones: heavy, luminous, and a little unruly. Hand-finished, so expect natural variation in shape and texture from piece to piece. Equally at home as a kitchen island centrepiece, a dining table statement, or simply displayed on open shelving when not in use, and pairs naturally with other pieces from the same glass collection, including matching candle holders.

Styling Suggestions

• Use as a kitchen island centrepiece, piled with fruit for everyday colour and shape
• Style on a dining table for dessert course or a relaxed grazing spread
• Pair with the matching emerald glass candle holders for a coordinated tablescape
• Display empty on open shelving or a sideboard as a sculptural object in its own right
• Works particularly well against warm wood tones, where the green has room to stand out

Why We Like It

We like that this piece works just as hard empty as it does full. It's bold enough to be the centrepiece on its own, but generous enough to share the spotlight with whatever's served on it. The little extra glass piece is a nice touch too, move it aside when you need the space, or leave it in place for something a bit more sculptural.
