In the following years, he joined the Atelier de Nîmes with Jean Nouvel and Philippe Starck, where he worked as a consultant for Cacharel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and DuPont.  Winners of numerous international awards, his works are exhibited in prestigious museums such as the MOMA and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Axis Center Japan, the Pompidou Center in Paris, and the Design Museum in London, where some of his works are part of the permanent collections.
