To have loved and lost... a coffee table.

Help me find a coffee table I saw recently in a catalogue, or on Houzz, or in Dwell... It's haunting my dreams!
I saw a coffee table in the last few weeks that for some reason is now haunting me. I want to look it up but... I don't know where I saw it. I get Houzz emails, Dwell magazine, and a few catalogues (Restoration Hardware, Crate and Barrel, and some upholsterer fancy one). I've looked through everywhere I can think I might have seen it, I'm inclined to think it was on Houzz, but I can't find it. Any designer or woodworker-y types recognize it?
Here's my drawing of it based on memory: http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=454be68
It was made of wood, a walnut-like finish, it was round but the widest part was higher than midline. Flat spindles connected the top to the bottom, and I can't recall if they were crossed or not -- I have a memory of both -- and it created something akin to a basket, or a cage, with visible space in the center. It was probably high end, as I remember the picture and the room was not cheap. Mainly white, the dark birdcage table was an accent, as was a teal blanket maybe on the couch.
I know the chances are slim, but figured maybe someone out there watches the same design circuit I do and has seen it. I've searched everywhere and everything I can think of and no luck so far.
It's haunting my dreams!
Thanks, medesigners.

West Elm also has the cage-like Origami Table. However, the top isn't wood.
Here's a room view. It's a beautiful coffee table.

Response by poster: That's it! That's it! Not the side table but the West Elm Bentwood Coffee Table.
Holy crap, the internet is amazing. As are you, @zinon and Metafilter.
