Florian Roeper

Studio Roeper’s finely crafted luxury furniture is inspired by Italian Renaissance art and architecture, Arts and Crafts artisanship and Art Deco style. Its dynamic work is popular among the world’s leading interior designers, architects and boutique hotel brands.

The Napa Valley, California-based company was established in 2003 by German-born designer Florian Roeper, who graduated that same year from San Francisco’s California College of Arts and Crafts (now California College of the Arts) with a BFA in furniture and sculpture. 

Following an apprenticeship with master woodworker Al Garvey, Roeper created a line of unique, handcrafted pieces for home use that were not only artistic but functional. This work informed Studio Roeper’s signature elegance and minimalist appeal. 

Many of the company’s furnishings reflect Roeper’s interest in juxtaposing materials in his designs. For instance, locally sourced hardwoods from Northern California and metals such as bronze are integrated into sophisticated dining room tables, conference tables and coffee tables. Roeper explains, “The style is contemporary, like a warm contemporary, because we’re using a lot of wood — we love to use walnut and love to use bronze. Just the material and the colors alone are warm and accessible.”

In addition to furniture, Studio Roeper produces a variety of contemporary wall art and sculptures made with epoxy resin, lacquer, gold leaf, copper and ebonized and patinated woods. Several of these works, such as “Papillon Noir,” explore the complex relationship between humans and nature. 

Since its establishment, Studio Roeper has received commissions from notable clients including Louis Vuitton, Peter Marino Architect, Christian Dior and Four Seasons Hotels.

The right vintage, new or antique tables can help make any space in your home stand out.

Over the years, the variety of tables available to us, as well as our specific needs for said tables, has broadened. Today, with all manner of these must-have furnishings differing in shape, material and style, any dining room table can shine just as brightly as the guests who gather around it.

Remember, when shopping for a dining table, it must fit your dining area, and you need to account for space around the table too — think outside the box, as an oval dining table may work for tighter spaces. Alternatively, if you’ve got the room, a Regency-style dining table can elevate any formal occasion at mealtime.

Innovative furniture makers and designers have also redefined what a table can be. Whether it’s an unconventional Ping-Pong table, a brass side table to display your treasured collectibles or a Louis Vuitton steamer trunk to add an air of nostalgia to your loft, your table can say a lot about you.

The visionary work of French designer Xavier Lavergne, for example, includes tables that draw on the forms of celestial bodies as often as they do aquatic creatures or fossils. Elsewhere, Italian architect Gae Aulenti, who looked to Roman architecture in crafting her stately Jumbo coffee table, created clever glass-topped mobile coffee tables that move on bicycle tires or sculpted wood wheels for Fontana Arte. 

Coffee and cocktail tables can serve as a room’s centerpiece with attention-grabbing details and colors. Glass varieties will keep your hardwood flooring and dazzling area rugs on display, while a marble or stone coffee table in a modern interior can showcase your prized art books and decorative objects. A unique vintage desk or writing table can bring sophistication and even a bit of spice to your work life. 

No matter your desired form or function, a quality table for your living space is a sound investment. On 1stDibs, browse a collection of vintage, new and antique bedside tables, mid-century end tables and more .
