His design concepts were well ahead of his time and he didn't follow any predetermined style, instead he paved a path for others to follow if they dared!

The Pastilli chair provided him with an American Industrial Design Award in 1968. This rounded moulded fibreglass chair appears to float above the floor. It's smooth glossy finish and pod like form suggests it resembles a sculpture rather than a chair.
