Amoeboid tables and other places to set your coffee cup

There are tables of the elements.
There are tables of contents.
There are dining tables and breakfast tables.
And there are amoeboid tables. AKA kidney-shaped. Or boomerang.
Mod, midcentury coffee tables.
Like this one:
Lucite & brass coffee table
Not too heavy, not too large.
The reflective, lucite surface is about 45" x 30", on a 16" tall sculptural support.
The more I view it, the more intriguing are the brass triangular and trapezoidal prisms that make its base.

Here's its cousin, with a Jetson flair:

Next to them, their brother coffee tables seem almost stodgy :^)
