By 1919 he had become design director of the metal atelier of Borderel and Robert, a prominent architectural construction firm. Subes quickly became a leading designer and maker of metal works. Reviews on his work in 1930 and 1935 issues of Mobilier et Decoration and Art et Decoration attest to his standing among contemporary critics.
He first exhibited his work in 1919. At the 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes his work included a console and a lacquered metal bookcase with Ruhlmann for the "Hotel du collectionneur"
In the 1920s he produced works in wrought (hand-forged) iron including the pulpit of the cathedral in Rouen, grilles for the church of Saint-Germain-des Pres, lighting fixtures on the Carousel bridge in Paris, monuments and grand entryways for private commissions.
