Throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s, his designs were in high demand and were imported to the American market by Lightolier & Progress Lighting and in Europe by Boulanger (Belgium), Mazzega (Italy)... During this same period, its luminaires will appear regularly on television and in the cinema because of their luxurious, futuristic or Hollywood Regency style appearance.
