Description

Designed by OK-RM, a series of special plates serve both a practical need and provide a physical trigger for reflection and discussion. The plates combine short statements on the bottom with abstract diagrams, which resemble scientific depictions of an electronic circuit, a flow chart or organizational structure. Together they help trigger the sharing of ideas in relation to architecture and urban transformation. Produced in a limited edition, the plates make each meal special and turn the act of setting the table and washing the dishes into playful moments of interpreting and comparing words and images.

How to Use

A shared meal is a cherished tradition in the Design in Dialogue Lab. During normal studio days students collectively prepare the food and eat together. When guests are visiting the studio, they are invited to stay for lunch or dinner and help cut, cook or set the table. The plates are served on special occasions and explicitly curated settings for moments of collective eating.
