Story of Roger Capron
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 ( Nice , Cannes , Antibes etc.) have their walls covered with Garrigue tiles indoor and sometimes outdoor for example restaurants
Mr Capron was extremely influenced by the Japanese life style; coffee tables are usually low height
