Roger Capron 'Cuvette' Coffee Table in Ceramic and Iron

Roger Capron coffee table, model Cuvette, ceramic, iron, France, 1960s

This iconic Cuvette model features a beautifully composed ceramic tile top, carefully arranged within a gently raised border that gives the table its characteristic cuvette form. The handcrafted tiles display subtle variations in warm beige and earthy tones, each piece slightly unique in glaze and texture. This nuanced surface creates depth and rhythm, celebrating the artisanal nature of Capron’s ceramic work while maintaining a harmonious overall composition.

The base is made from iron, providing a strong and architectural foundation that contrasts elegantly with the warmth and tactility of the ceramic surface. The robust iron legs enhance the table’s sculptural presence while ensuring stability, perfectly balancing craftsmanship with structural clarity.
