Vintage coffee table by Jean Gregorieff for Roche Bobois, France, 1970.

Coffee table by designer and ceramist Jean Grégorieff for Roche Bobois editions, listed in the 1969 catalog. At that time, Grégorieff was working in Vallauris, fully aligning himself with the great names of ceramics in the region and positioning himself as a contemporary of Pablo Picasso, Roger Capron, and Jean Derval. This iconic model from the late 1960s features a top made of nine glazed ceramic tiles in off-white and marbled ochre tones, along with a unique decorative tile engraved in relief with a stylized geometric symbol, a true signature of Grégorieff's ceramic work for the publisher. The whole is encased in a metal structure resting on a bent brushed steel base. Its dimensions are 87 cm in length, 41 cm in width, and 32 cm in height. It is in very good condition, with no cracked tiles, and shows only a few light signs of use as well as tiny spots of oxidation on the metal structure, perfectly consistent with its era and authenticity.
