By the end of the 1950’s he had gained an international recognition and by the 1980’s his factory employed more than 120 workers and produced a wide range of pieces, such as: vases, lamps, tables, tiles, panels and other objects. During the decade of the 1990’s and helped by his wife, Jacotte and Jean-Paul Bonnet, he started to create only unique sculptural pieces destined for galleries around the world.
