OK-RM: A Meaningful Order
A Meaningful Order by graphic design studio OK-RM
This book is the result of discourse, between Oliver Knight, Rory McGrath (OK-RM) and James Langdon, in London and Berlin. It was made and remade as an idea of itself: versions of it were spoken aloud, thought through, dismissed. It began to manifest in text before it had any material specifications.
Across its 328 pages it holds a new history of the distributed realities of design. It depicts designed objects on their own terms to give an account of vision, material, and curiosity—representing a selection of the vast archive of more than 16 years of work from OK-RM through an orchestration of the lithographic process with a special set of colours.
It is a site for committed study and experimentation, away from the structures of academe. It generates examples, prototypes, and models. It stages a dialogue rendered in a designerly writing through 26 alphabetised chapters (A–Z).
