Cuvette Coffee Table by Roger Capron

This Cuvette coffee table by Roger Capron fully belongs to the body of work of the great French ceramicist and to the history of Vallauris, a major center of the post-war revival of ceramic art. Conceived as a true work of art, it reflects Capron’s ambition to integrate ceramics into furniture, giving it an architectural and sculptural dimension. The tabletop is composed of an assembly of glazed stoneware tiles, arranged in a composition that is both rigorous and subtly vibrant. The surface presents a gentle concavity — the “cuvette” — emphasized by a peripheral border with carefully treated corners. The glazes, in mineral tones ranging from cream to golden brown, punctuated by pale blue nuances, reveal a masterful firing process, producing effects of texture, depth, and chromatic variation characteristic of Vallauris production. Seen in profile, the tabletop appears to float above rectilinear patinated metal legs, whose restraint contrasts elegantly with the tactile richness of the ceramic surface. This dialogue between craftsmanship and modernity lies at the heart of Roger Capron’s language, here successfully reconciling everyday use with sculptural presence. Both a functional coffee table and a sculptural composition, the Cuvette model embodies a humanist vision of French modernism, in which the hand of the artisan remains visible and essential. An emblematic piece, conceived to inhabit space with calm, balance, and a quiet authority.
