Many of Robj''s creations are whimsical yet practical and are very much in keeping with the mood of the times, hence their immediate popularity. Robj though did not live to see much of this success, losing his life in a car accident in 1922.. Robj''s designs were then brought to production by his business partner Lucien Willmertz who remained primarily responsible for promoting the Robj style into the 1930s.
 
Several prominent factories were employed in the production of the Robj collection including Manufacture de Sevres and Villeroy and Boch.
