Roll table by Tom Dixon

British designer Tom Dixon has added a small wheel to a standard cafe table design to make it easier for staff to move around. 

The base is made of cast iron while the solid birch top has a rubber bumper round its edge.

Dixon presented the design at his show in Milan in April. See all our stories about Milan 2011 »
