In 1952 he created the "Fiorenza" armchair for Arflex; in 1955 the "Luisa" chair, for which he was awarded the Compasso d'Oro; in 1956 the "Rocking chaise" for Poggi.
In the 1960s he worked on industrial design as well as important architectural projects.
In 1961 he designed the Rome Rinascente building.
From 1963 to 1977 he taught design at Milan Polytechnic (Politecnico di Milano).
In 1964 the television set he created for Brionvega was displayed at the Milan Triennial XIII.
