A vehicle interior 10 includes an interior compartment 14 and a table 16 in the interior compartment. The table has a top surface 18 including a perimeter, wherein an airbag 20 extends around the perimeter of the top surface. The airbag is inflatable in response to a vehicle impact to limit the likelihood of an occupant 22 impacting the table and/or to absorb energy from the occupant during the vehicle impact. Preferably, the airbag is located between the table and a cover 52, wherein the cover includes a tear seam. The airbag may be inflatable radially, and be of an annular shape that extends entirely around the perimeter of the table top surface. Furthermore, a plurality of indentations (56, Fig.6) within the inflated airbag may be present, which correspond to adjacent seats 36. A second independent claim includes a height adjustable table, and a processor programmed to initiate inflation based on the table height.
