Together, they created significant products for Gruppo Industriale Busnelli (Topos, Armadillo, Baffo, Zen, Materasso...) and worked on shaping the company's image, from trade show presentations fair to advertising campaigns.

In addition, Gruppo Dam designed original ceramic items such as tiles, flower pots, ashtrays, for the historic ceramics company Cedit. In 1970, they also designed a series of models for a renowned Venetian company specializing in chandeliers and blown glass objects. The Gruppo Dam signed various ideological and programmatic design manifestos and organized a major exhibition of the group's products in Milan at the Centro Domus.
