French mid-century coffee table with a tiled surface set in a simple oak frame. The top is composed of hand-painted ceramic tiles, each etched with abstract and animal-like motifs in red, blue, green, and black. The rhythmic arrangement of forms gives a playfulness that contrasts well with the simplicity of the solid oak frame.
As with much post-war French design, the table reflects an interest in integrating art into the everyday object. The tiles display subtle variations consistent with hand-painted work, adding depth and individuality to the composition.
