From there he served a privotal apprenticeship (1928-34) in the workshop of Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, the eminent French Art Deco designer. In Ruhlmann’s Atelier he learned the precise production methods of the master and participated in the furnishing of oceanliners that included the 1928 Liberté and the 1931 l’Atlantique. From 1935 he showed his work at the salons of Société des Artistes Decorateurs regularly and at editions of Salon des Arts Ménagers. His work was shown at the 1937 Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne, a pivotal exhibition that was to affect contemporary design throughout the 1940s.
