I like the idea of a small, portable table that can be tucked in wherever it is needed. Whether next to your favorite reading chair holding your teacup, or scattered about the room for a cocktail party, these smart little platforms would work well with any decor. The Zen table, by Cattelan Italia, features rounds of reflective stainless above and below a gently curved wooden leg. Sold in pairs, the tables are available in 20" or 22" heights with 17" diameter tops. $618.
