After establishing himself in Paris as a designer of fashion boutiques, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, he met Sergio Terzani in 1985 and soon joined Terzani, where they developed lighting guided by the philosophy of \u003cem\u003ela luce pensata\u003c\/em\u003e—\"thinking about light.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis first design for Terzani, Antinea, paired wrought iron, Murano glass, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003epietra serena\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sandstone, reflecting his appreciation for timeless materials and craftsmanship.
