Kangaroo table by Mathieu Mategot
Gubi are offering a re-issue of a witty design dating back to the 1950s, this Kangaroo table by Mathieu Mategot.
The design dates to 1954 and is made from perforated steel. Why a kangaroo? Well, take a look – this table is in fact made up of two tables, one fitting inside the other one – just like a kangaroo carries her joey in her pouch.
Available in five different colourways, the table costs £272.

Narbonne vintage style nesting tables from Artisanti
Though your school days aren't the most obvious choice for home inspiration, that's exactly what is behind these Narbonne vintage-style nesting tables from Artisanti.
The nest contains three tables, all with wood tops and cream-painted tubular legs that evoke a post-war style and create a vintage feel.
It's also the kind of furniture also being explored by Very Good and Proper at the moment. If you can't stretch your budget to afford those but like their looks, I'm pleased to say these are just that little bit cheaper – a set of these tables costs £179.

eBay watch: Ercol midcentury nest of tables
We featured the colourful anniversary version of these last year, which came in at a hefty £525. As yet, the price of this particular Ercol nest of tables is nowhere near that.
Mind you, this is a used set, lacking the bold shades of the anniversary set. In fact, all the elm tables have a plain finish, as well as a bit of wear and tear- the seller describing the set as being in 'very good used condition with some light superficial marks to the tops'.
You can make your own mind up about that from the images on the selling page. if you like what you see, the price right now is £5 for the set.
