In 1968 they decided to work together. 45 years later they are still partners. Ever since working together, ibens and Bataille have gone on to add an awe-inspiring oeuvre to their name, ranging from private residences, over shops and offices to public spaces. Besides to architecture furniture and object design has been a second passion of theirs. Throughout their entire body of work, they have adopted the golden section, resulting in a minimalist visual language which, close to half a century later, continues to be seen as fresh and innovative. In the beginning of the 90’s, requests for new designs came from several Belgian manufacturers. Those collaborations became such a great success the duo received a lifetime achievement award from the Belgian organization for interior architects AiNB in 2009. As a duo, they have added a key chapter to the book of Belgian design and architectural history.
