Roger Capron Tables
French, 1922-2006
Roger Capron is best known for his geometrically complex, vibrantly colored tile-topped coffee tables. These mid-century furnishings, with their comely palettes and playful arrangements of abstract forms or natural-world motifs, are approachable yet sophisticated. They draw on Scandinavian modernism and exemplify the Parisian ceramist’s belief in ensuring that things of beauty are easily and widely accessible, a principle espoused by French decorative artist and designer René Gabriel.
Capron graduated in 1943 from the School of Applied Arts in Paris. In a small atelier he later founded with Robert Picault and Jean Derval in Vallauris, Capron made alluring sculptures, table lamps and other objects and found inspiration in the work of Pablo Picasso, who had also opened an atelier in the region. He parted ways with his fellow ceramists in 1952 in order to open his own manufactory, Atelier Capron.
Initially staffed by a handful of workers, Atelier Capron captured international attention. His pieces were sold in stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Gimbels. Later, Capron’s wife, Jacotte, studied art and became a valued collaborator. Owing in part to her expertise in mixing pigments and glazes, Capron’s best-known ceramics feature dazzling colors and whimsical characters. Like Picasso, he experimented with many artistic styles and never settled on one technique for too long. His coffee tables, side tables and decorative objects are among the most enduring and coveted designs of the mid-century modern era.
While Capron’s factory had grown tenfold by 1980, it shut down a few years later after a slew of competitors began mass-producing cheaper imitations.
Capron won an award at the Milan Triennial in 1954 and International Grand Prize for Ceramics in 1970. His works have been displayed in the Musée National de la Céramique and the Musée Magnelli.

By Roger Capron
Located in Stratford, CT
Looking for a spectacular ceramic coffee table! Look no further.
Ceramic top with pleasing modulations and contrasts between colors (Off-white, gray, amber and gold), textures (smooth, rough), linings (texture lines, designed lines and grout lines), geometric patterns (within and between tiles) and tile sizes. The very best in ceramic coffee tables Roger Capron had to offer.
Ceramic tiles are all made of lava, lighter in weight, supporting all these variations mentioned above.
Moreover, each tile was shaped and flattened by hand, which was a first for Mr Capron's work.
Mr Capron built up his company from 1 to 120 employees from 1946 to 1982. Here is a quick summary of his prolific production:
- Free forms decorative items with handglazed decors and drawings (from 1948)
- Navet tiles hand glazed on industrial tiles from Villeroy and Boch (From 1950 to 1958)
- Planet tiles hand glazed on industrial tiles from Villeroy and Boch (From 1959 to 1975)
- Hand shaped ceramics (mostly humidors and lamps) covering the 19070's
- Indoors and outdoors wall panels covering buildings and lobbies. Most famous ones are 5 stars Hotel Byblos in Saint Tropez (with Jean Derval), Gare maritime de Cannes,
- Lava tiles in hundreds of colors and textures (1970 to 1984) - This coffe table comes this production.
- Garrigue and Herbiers tiles (1970 to 1984)

Roger Capron - Coffee Table, Garrigue/White Ceramic Tiles, Dovetail Metal Frame
By Roger Capron
Located in Stratford, CT
*** Important detail: custom height available (1)***
Large coffee table with the famous Roger Capron Garrigue tiles, designed from 1968 to 1982. Mr. Capron was often balancing his designs by incorporating either brown or white enameled terra cotta tiles. The handcrafted Garrigue tiles are 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.
This table is mounted on a really sturdy dovetail metal frame. It is in near perfect condition, patina due to age on metal frame.
(1) Mr Capron was extremely influenced by the Japanese life style; coffee table are usually low. We can change the legs to match your desired height. Please keep in mind that we provide this service only for the tables that have a dovetail frame and for which the frames have a similar look with the replacement legs...
