In 1927 she began a collaboration with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret in the famous 35 atelier, Rue de Sèvres in Paris. Invited by the Japanese government in 1940 to guide national production in the field of industrial design, the artist was able to fully display her talent. She started collaborating with Cassina in 1978, producing furniture accessories, among which the Ospite table. Even though her works resulted from projects initiated in the 20s, today they appear like very important evidence for the furnishing culture of the future.
