He trained at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, where he took his diploma in 1961. From 1962 to 1969 he worked with the French master glassmaker and decorator Max Ingrand, and Ingrand inspired him to go into industrial design. He launched Point, a company that produces and sells the furniture he designs, and he designed the first Bonpoint stores in France and the United States. In 1985 he founded Ben Swildens Design Architecture, focused on individual residences. Since 2010 he has concentrated mainly on sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Uovo's egg shape has a symmetry and an asymmetry that sit together in one form.
