In 1941, he opened a decoration office on rue de la Pompe, while regularly visiting the craftsmen of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, whose skills he admired. He works in particular with the cabinetmaker François Sebesta who introduces him to traditional woodworking techniques. In 1943, he received his first major order: furniture from the company Krema. He opened a space in the 17th century arrdt in 1946, both a gallery and a drawing studio. He collaborates with the ironworkers of art Gilbert Poillerat and Raymond Subes, commissions paintings and mosaics from Jean Bazaine and carpets from Pauline Peugniez. In 1948, he exhibited at the salon of interior decorators. Consequently, the orders flow, carried by a wealthy clientele attracted by its sober and Classic modernism.
