«Golden Meaning»: a publishing experiment in design and mathematics
R2 contributes to publication with take on Fibonacci sequence.

«Golden Meaning» gathers 55 experiments by designers, typographers and image-makers. The book was presented at London’s Design Museum, on February 26.

Liza Ramalho and Artur Rebelo worked with the four initial digits of the Fibonacci sequence. The numbers were created using golden rectangles, which increase proportionally using the same sequence. The design of each number was generated randomly via computer processing.

The book also features works by Julia Hastings, Elisabeth Kopf, Moniker, Ian Wright, Mike Perry Studio, MGMT design, The Luxury of Protest and George Hardi, among others. The book is compiled by Lucienne Roberts and Rebecca Wright with the help of mathematician Alex Bellos.

R2 is the signature of the designers and artists Lizá Défossez Ramalho (Troyes, France) and Artur Rebelo (Porto, Portugal). R2’s practice extends beyond conventional boundaries, navigating both typical graphic design’s two-dimensional mediums and architectural landscapes. R2 has earned global acclaim for its groundbreaking projects that contributed to redefine the boundaries of the design field. Driven by an unwavering commitment to excellence, they passionately devote themselves to crafting high-quality, both conceptually and visually, designed projects. R2 Design studio was co-founded in 1995 by Defossez Ramalho & Rebelo and works with cultural institutions and commercial clients in fields ranging from culture and lifestyle to industry. R2’s multidisciplinary approach allows them to respond effectively to a wide range of projects from Dam Signage in the Douro River (with Souto de Moura-Architects) to extensive branding that includes typography on building ceilings (Casa & typography do Conto), to a complex museum graphic identity with more than 14 locations (Museu do Porto).
