As seen in the picture it seems that the sellotape removed some of the color on the furniture surface. There doesn't seem to be any adhesive left on the surface. What are my options to repair this?

You took the wind out of my sails with that last paragraph. I was going to suggest using a nut/bolt.
As far as it causing problems when the tabletop is lowered, you can recess the bolt head. Yeah, you could make the cavity in which the bolt will stay on the underside of the tabletop, but maybe you'll drill too far or crack/scratch the tabletop if you chisel it out. It could end badly... which is why you should instead house the bolt head on the top-side of the cross member.
Brown = table top
Black = underlying cross member
The one on the left is what you were talking about. The one on the right is what you want to do.
Also, use a washer under the bolt head, etc.
I would experiment with dye on a cut-off piece.. talk to some installers of ceasar stone or get some samples.
The dye I'm speaking of is a metallic salt type (Transtint http://www.homesteadfinishingproducts.com/htdocs/TransTint.htm ) They are intended for wood, but will stain most any material with some porosity to it.
This will be a temporary fix, a surface treatment that will have to be renewed periodically. If you get a mix working (keep track of your formula), you can bottle it for refreshing the color as needed.
I'd suggest 1 OZ of denatured alcohol and 4-6 drops of a Transtint color to start. Mixing is straight forward and color blend is the true genius of this system.
PS wear latex or nitrile gloves..

hard to tell from the photo, but I think you have old varnish, just aged and oxidized. take some acetone and wipe the area at the edge of the ripped area. if you wipe it and get some yellowy residue, you probably have old varnish or lacquer. if not, wipe with methanol or methyl hydrate. if this produces yellowy residue, you have old shellac. if it doesn't wipe with either process you may have a urethane that's tinted and it would need sanding and refinishing.
either way, if it wipes off with either chemical, just wet feather the edge and then let dry. you should see a lighter area when it dries, but with a smooth transition. then you can topcoat. don't try to match colours as the area will naturally darken in the stripped wood section when you coat it, and then further as it ages.
