Trend Alert: Tables as Focal Point

I like this trend. It started a couple years ago. Tables with one central base often with unusual sculptural form are getting more and more popular. This is true not only for dining tables, like this beautiful example below:

The Barry table by Miniforms

but also for side tables, where it is much easier to have a more interesting solution:
