He worked with designer André Grozdanovitch, with whom he designed an engraved glass mirror adorning the lobby of the Théâtre municipal de Poitiers in 1956, one of the most important monumental glass works of the period. He also worked closely with decorators such as Jean Pascaud, Jules Leleu and Marc du Plantier, and master metalworkers like Gilbert Poillerat, Raymond Subes and René Drouet.

He uses sandblast engraving and applies various colors to his mirrors, which are tinted by the patinas and oxidations of silver and gold leaf.
