Ibañez Kim

Ibañez Kim is a genre-defiant design practice that engages architecture, objects, and cities. The founding principals Mariana Ibañez and Simon Kim design for place-making, belonging, and interaction. Their teaching positions at UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania allow them to test and experiment with ideas and materials that produce innovation and value in their professional work. Ibañez Kim have produced designs for institutions such as the MoMA, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Smithsonian, Opera Philadelphia, and for clients looking for the next normal.
