In Arizona, he was struck by the creations of Frank Lloyd Wright. On his return, he created his studio in Clamart and the Chapo Gallery in Paris, where his modernist wooden furniture rubbed shoulders with other designers such as Isamu Noguchi. In 1960, he participated in the Arts and Crafts exhibition, where he was awarded a gold medal.
