Roger Capron
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.

Vintage Brutalist Round Oak Coffee Table: A Statement of Timeless French Elegance
Transform your living space with the powerful presence of this Brutalist Vintage Round Solid Oak Coffee Table from France.

Why Choose Brutalist Vintage?
Brutalist vintage furniture stands out for its robust structure, minimalist aesthetic, and inherent character, all of which are perfectly embodied in this round coffee table.

The solid oak used in this table not only enhances its durability but also gives it a rich texture and patina that add warmth and depth to any room.
Styling Tips for Your Brutalist Oak Coffee Table
To complement the Brutalist aesthetic, pair this round oak coffee table with similarly bold and textured elements:
Layer with a Neutral Rug: Place the table on a thick, neutral-toned rug in materials like wool or jute to ground the piece and add subtle contrast.
Add Soft Contrasts: Use plush, oversized cushions or a leather sofa with minimalistic lines to balance the table's rugged form with softer, luxurious textures.
Mix with Metal Accents: Incorporate industrial-style metal accessories—think iron candleholders, a steel tray, or a simple brass bowl. The juxtaposition of metal with solid oak adds a modern twist.
Natural Elements: Highlight the oak's warmth with natural decor pieces such as stone coasters, clay pottery, or lush green plants, bringing in an organic balance that enhances the Brutalist vibe.
Statement Lighting: For evening ambiance, use a bold floor lamp...
