He trained at the Académie Charpentier in Paris. A pioneer of the Accolay potters' movement, he absorbed their free spirit and developed an instinctive and natural relationship with shaping and glazing clay. His artistic vocabulary explores the interplay of openwork and the addition of ornamentation using a fire-resistant metal. From the 1960s onwards, his unique style captivated Roche Bobois, with whom he collaborated for over ten years to create lighting fixtures. Dimensions - 26 cm
