Their posters were among the 100 Best Posters of Germany, Austria and Switzerland three years in a row starting in 2015. The duo was awarded the New York artist residency by the City of Geneva in 2014, and the Lissignol-Chevalier bursary, Geneva as well as a Swiss Design Award in 2012.

What: Founded in 2011, Poster Tribune is their magazine dedicated to the history and news of the media poster. In late 2015 the duo launched the online platform Print Program, an archive dedicated to the exhibition and archiving of graphic printed matter.
