Dissection of the Cross 1/3: The Corner
The corner is our origin.
The corner originates from the synthesis of two of the most fundamental geometries in design: the orthogonal 90-degree corner and the rounded arc. Born from the convergence of tradition, the cross exists to be activated with purpose.
GMR's language is an exploration of how straight and curved geometries can coexist, intersect, and transform across scales, materials, and disciplines.

Dissection of the Cross 2/3: The Plus
The plus stands as a transitional form of the cross, composed through the orchestration of four corners.
Born from a perfect square, symmetry in its purest state, it undergoes a controlled rupture. The corners are excised as four quarter circles, an act of measured disruption.
Its proportions follow a rule of three: each quarter circle occupies one third of the square’s edge. A dialogue between order and its deliberate undoing.
The resulting plus is proportioned as one-third of the cross in width and one-fifth of the complete form.

Dissection of the Cross 3/3: The Cross
The Cross stands as the final form.
One of the oldest human symbols, it appears across cultures and religions long before recorded history, unfolding into countless variations while gathering new meanings over time.
It marks the meeting of heaven and earth, the reach of the four directions, the quiet movement of the sun.
GMR gives rise to a new variation, formed from five pluses and twenty corners, fragmented and reassembled into a singular whole. A cross where past and present converge.
