Ceramic Eucalyptus Coffee Table by Roger Capron, 1970s

This exceptional coffee table is a creation of acclaimed French ceramist Roger Capron, a leading figure in mid-century decorative arts. Designed in the 1960s–70s, the piece showcases his signature ceramic tile work, inspired by botanical motifs and the natural world.

The tabletop features hand-glazed ceramic tiles in a soft palette of beige and white, arranged in a rhythmic, organic pattern evocative of eucalyptus leaves. Each tile bears subtle variations in tone and texture, highlighting Capron’s artisanal approach and deep connection to nature.

Set within a warm oak wood frame, the materials are perfectly balanced—earthy, elegant, and tactile. The clean lines of the wood base contrast beautifully with the intricate surface, creating a piece that is both functional and sculptural. A rare and timeless statement for collectors and lovers of French mid-century design
