This iconic piece from the 1970s is distinguished by its top made of glazed ceramic tiles assembled in a powerful and perfectly balanced graphic composition. The central motif, representing a stylized, radiant face, evokes an abstract sun, surrounded by radiating lines and colored bands in tones typical of the period: ochres, browns, bluish-grays, and deep red.

The table rests on a simple and elegant metal frame, which highlights the richness of the top without detracting from its appeal.

Each tile features a unique glaze, with a subtle network of crackles and variations in color characteristic of Capron's handcrafted work, giving the piece its depth and authenticity.
