Round Dining table with the famous Roger Capron Herbier tiles, designed from 1968 to 1982. The handcrafted Garrigue tiles 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 have their walls covered with Garrigue tiles. This dining table is mounted in an oak wood frame and 4 cylindric wood legs, typical design that Mr. Capron was using for his production in the 1970's.
