His association with the Hermès house marked a decisive turning point in his career, allowing him to develop his famous style that combines leather and metal. At the head of the Compagnie des Arts Français, Adnet continued to push the boundaries of design with creations that blend elegance, modernity, and functionality. Among the designers on his team were prominent figures such as François Jourdain, Charlotte Perriand, and Georges Jouve. In the 1950s, he dedicated himself to furniture design and received numerous commissions, including the decoration of the private apartments of the French president at the Élysée and the meeting room of UNESCO's Paris headquarters. From 1959 to 1970, he directed the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Valenti: Valenti is a high-end interior decoration company with a long tradition and artisanal roots.
