Roger Capron “Garrigue” Rectangular Coffee Table, Ceramic Tile Top, France 1970

Creator: Roger Capron
Offered by: Michel Contessa Antiques & More

Description
Rectangular coffee table with the famous Roger Capron Garrigue tiles, designed from 1968 to 1982.

The handcrafted Garrigue tiles were produced by a technique in which real leaves were pressed into the clay and, during firing, disintegrated, leaving a finely detailed imprint.

The leaves come from "La Garrigue", a variety of vegetation indigenous to southeastern France only, where Roger Capron lived and worked for 60 years. These Garrigue tiles inspired a large series of side to dining tables, including wall covering. Many kitchen in the French Riviera have their walls covered with Garrigue tiles. A modernist with organic surface French coffee table with a geometrical wooden base newly refinished by a professional wood worker who managed to keep the natural patina.
