Her reputation as an interior designer was established as early as 1966 with her astonishing work for the showrooms of typewriter maker Olivetti in Paris and Buenos Aires.
She used mirrored ceilings to achieve kaleidoscopic effects highlighted by her iconic lamps now made by Martinelli Luce.
After the museum metamorphosis of the Orsay station, it was the Center Georges Pompidou who asked her to redesign the interior of the MNAM. She was also called upon to renovate the Palazzo Grassi in Venice in 1985 and to rebuild the Palau Nacional de Montjuïc which thus became the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya.
She used her long-standing art of decor and costumes for Gioachino Rossini’s opera «Il viaggio a Reims» and took over some of the furni- ture for the Palazzo Grassi.
