After World War I, Leleu specialized in furniture making. He opened a Paris gallery, Maison Leleu, in 1924 and exhibited at the 1925 Exposition Industrielle et Arts Decoratifs, winning a grand prize at the exposition. Leleu designed the Grand Salon of the Ambassadors at the Society of Nations in Geneva and the French Embassies of several nations as well as the ocean liners SS Ile de France and SS Normandie. At the height of the Art Deco period, Leleu established himself as an aesthetic as modern, supple and magnificently well balanced as anyone working at the time, including those of his famed competitors Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann and Jean-Michel Frank.\
