In 1933, he began designing furniture with the use of rattan and metal. However, as the war was raging he decided to enroll and was later taken prisoner. After the Liberation, he devoted himself to creating objects in transparent metal and opened his own studio in Paris and Casablanca.
He showed his work in 1952 at the Salon des Artistes DĂ©corateurs. He rapidly became a global success. He particularly influenced the world of design with his avant-garde approach to forms and materials.
