The architect really launched his international career by participating in the Memphis “12 Neers” (1986) and “Living on Earth” (1987) collections. He soon started prestigious collaborations with Achille Castiglioni or the Foscarini and Kartell brands, for which he created, among other things, the Bourgie lamp and the Max table, two of his greatest successes.   Interior photos by Kato Peeters.
