The Shah of Iran commissioned the firm to design the spectacular celebration of the 2,500th anniversary of the Persian empire, at the ancient ruins of Persepolis, in 1971. The company moreover collaborated with prominent artists and designers, including André Arbus, Paul Follot, and Pierre Legrain.
