The tabletop is composed of capron’s distinctive terracotta-hued tiles, many of which are impressed with delicate botanical forms — ferns, leaves, and flowering stems — a hallmark of his celebrated “garrigue” series. Set into a clean-lined black metal frame with corresponding straight legs, the table strikes a balance between rustic charm and mid-century modern restraint. The natural tones of the tiles evoke the warm provençal landscape, while the organic imprints lend a poetic, textural depth to the surface. This piece is a superb example of capron’s unique vision: combining artisan tradition with modern design to produce lasting functional art. Ideal as a coffee or accent table in a curated interior. The table is in good overall condition with evident, age-related blemishes which only add to the vintage charm of the piece. Signed.
