For the Exposition Internationale des Arts Dcoratifs et Industriels Modernes in 1925, he designed a woman’s bedchamber with a pink and gray palette. The room featured tended walls of Soie stitching. The furniture in the room was rounded and covered in natural Galuchat.

In 1935, Groult designed the furnishings of the first-class cabins on the ocean liner SS Normandie.
