That same year he became one of the founders of the Associazione per il Disegno Industriale. While still a student he designed a soda syphon for Saccab which became an icon of 1950s Italian design. It was nominated for a Compasso d'Oro in 1956, exhibited at the Milan Triennial exhibition in 1957, and later at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It is in the permanent collection of the Triennale di Milano museum.
