From the 1930s, his designer furniture used new materials such as chromed metal and glass. Towards the end of the 1930s, he returned to a more traditionalist production inspired by styles of the past. After the 1945 war, he produced a new type of furniture with simple lines, rather masculine, often in metal and leather and whose finish is of very good quality.
