If you built the table as a display cube ie with predominantly solid sides,
you could just recess a walk-over-able 12V light in the floor underneath
where the table would go and have it shine up through the translucent table
top base.

A magnet in one of the table legs and a reed switch in the floor with a
relay circuit would ensure the lamp was only illuminated when the table was
correctly positioned.
