Roger Capron

Roger Capron, birth name Roger Henri Louis Capron, is a French ceramic sculptor and draftsman.

Capron studied applied arts in Paris and in 1946 founded a pottery workshop, l'Atelier Callis, in Vallauris, employing up to 120 people at various times. Capron won many awards, including the Grand Prix International de la Céramique in 1970, and in 1983 he founded the now famous Atelier Capron.

Roger Capron's creations often use clay tiles or enameled lava tiles, traditionally used for decorative panels. This recognizable way of using ceramics in furniture and objects has become the designer's trademark. Capron was the first to put his ceramic expertise at the service of semi-industrial production. The workshop developed into a small factory and gained an international reputation.
