He went on to attend the Ecole des Beaux Arts and the Ecole du Louvre in Paris. After opening offices in Santiago and Buenos Aires with his wife, Pilar, in the mid-1970s, they moved to New York and set up a studio in the early 1980s; in the early 1990s they opened a satellite office in Paris.

An American citizen, Molyneux works comfortably on many different continents. He has created private residences in South America, the United States, Canada, throughout Europe, and in the Middle East. His public spaces include the Pavilion of Treaties for the Russian Federation in St. Petersburg and the Cercle de l'Union Interalliée, in Paris. He also designed the interiors of a Boeing 737, private jets, and a number of suites aboard the ocean liner World of Residensea.

He has received many awards, among them the Decoration of the Chevalier des Arts et Lettres, which he was given in 2004 by the French Minister of Culture in acknowledgment of having helped to spread French culture through his design work and his support of artisans.
