Bataille & ibens: Looking for the invisible present

The third episode in the exhibition series Unfolding the Archives shines the spotlight on interior architects Claire Bataille (1940) en Paul ibens (1939-2020). Their influence on interior architecture in Belgium and abroad is significant. The designer duo enjoyed international acclaim with the patented construction system "78 Plus" (1978) and the H²O table (1993). Bataille & ibens' style is characterized by simplicity, they called it "invisible present". The exhibition takes ‘detail’ as its starting point and, in so doing, offers a new perspective on the oeuvre of the famous designer duo.

The power of the intervention lies in the balance between what is there and what is being transformed; the result must be experienced afterwards as the evidence itself, as if the transformation had always been there.
