Unlike the larger coffee tables more commonly found on the market, this small, square, low table is particularly rare and sought after. It integrates effortlessly as a side table, a modern end table, or a centerpiece in a vintage or contemporary living room.

The tabletop is composed of stoneware tiles in warm shades of brown, ochre, and bistre. The floral and plant motifs are created using Capron's signature technique: direct impressions of real local plants and leaves (linden, chestnut, wildflowers) pressed into the fresh clay before firing.

Each tile and each botanical imprint is rigorously unique, giving the table an unparalleled organic and artistic character.

Square frame and sturdy brushed steel/metal legs, featuring the original assembly and visible screws underneath.
It displays a beautiful original patina with slight signs of wear and natural surface rust spots on the brushed steel, attesting to its authenticity and age without compromising the structure's solidity. This piece has an attribution mark,
