- He began his professional life in international trade, but at 29, he decided to radically change course and dedicate himself to interior and furniture design, learning as a self-taught individual.
- Starting in the 1940s and 50s, his style flourished and achieved great international recognition.
- He experimented with a wide range of materials, including noble woods (like walnut, maple), metals (brass, bronze, wrought iron), lacquers, wicker, rattan, velvet, bouclé wool, and leathers. He liked to combine textures and finishes.
- He worked for an elite international clientele, including the Royal Family of Iran (decorating the Summer Palace), King Farouk of Egypt, King Hussein of Jordan, and numerous high-society figures and art world personalities. He also opened branches in the Middle East and South America.
