Throughout his career he has collaborated with companies such as Andreu World, Kendo Mobiliario, Enea, Oken, Joker, Grassoler, Santa&Cole, Disform, Grupo T, Interi, Aridi, Biok, Point, Levesta or Permasa. He has been awarded two SIDI prizes for the Bolero chair in 1986 (Gasisa) and the Columba lamp in 1987 (Carpyen Iluminación), Delta de Plata prizes from ADI-FAD in 1997 for the HI-FI lamp (Carpyen Iluminación) and more recently in 1997 the Truck table from the company Aridi and the Apta chair from Andreu World were also selected as finalists in the ADI-FAD prizes. He defines himself as a designer who is "quite" industrial, and is not influenced by fashions. The designer himself says "what interests me is that my designs are useful, that people feel comfortable with them, that they are a help".
