RAAR is a palindrome: it reads the same in both directions, like certain streets that can be walked up and down without getting lost.It merges a surname and a profession, but also expresses a way of conceiving design as a meeting point

Quoting Nathan Rogers, RAAR approaches design “from the bolt to the block,” embracing a wide range of scales that extends from furniture detailing to urban vision.
