About the Item
Brutalist Egg-Shaped Vallauris Ceramic Coffee Table by Barrois, France, 1960s
A striking mid-century Brutalist ceramic coffee table designed and signed by Barrois, Vallauris, France, circa 1960s. The circular, egg-inspired top showcases a stunning composition of textured stoneware tiles in earthy brown and ochre tones, arranged in a radiating sunburst pattern. Each oval reserve features delicate botanical imprints—capturing natural twigs and leaves—typical of Vallauris ceramics that celebrated the dialogue between nature, material, and modern art.
The richly grained ceramic surface is set within a solid circular wooden frame resting on three low cylindrical legs, emphasizing its sculptural, monolithic presence. The layered edge detail in the wood rim adds to its architectural quality, while the matte glaze with subtle gradations of color lends a warm and organic atmosphere.
Executed in the renowned pottery region of Vallauris—home to artists such as Picasso, Capron, and Portanier—this piece exemplifies the French Brutalist ceramic tradition that merged art, craft, and function. The table’s bold, earthy palette and primitive forms make it a statement centerpiece for both vintage and contemporary interiors.
