London-based designer Samuel Wilkinson has designed a series of low tables for Danish design brand Versus with depressions in the top to stop small items rolling around.
The name Scallop is derived from the table's curves edges and the dish was inspired by his observations of how people tend to cluster items on a table to give a sense of organisation.
"The uniquely v-shaped tubular legs give balance and lightness while still complementing the soft-edged plateau top," says Wilkinson.
Samuel Wilkinson won the Design Museum's Design of the Year Award 2011 for the Plumen 001 lightbulb in collaboration with Hulger.

Everything a man needs fits right in – phone and keys. :) I like it a lot!
Objects don’t “roll around” on tables. It’s nonsense.
Ah, that never ending problem of when my books, keys & iPhone roll off the table…
Garbage. Surely they could have chosen much better items to illustrate the functionality of the indentation? Also, how small is the top one! The iPhone takes up nearly 1/3 of the width…
