ROR (design company) (original) (raw)

ROR was a British interior design company founded by Robin Cruikshank and Ringo Starr. The pair had met when Robin Ltd., Cruikshank's company, aligned itself with The Beatles' Apple Corps. Cruikshank designed furniture for Starr's new house, Round Hill on Compton Avenue in the Highgate district of north-west London. One piece designed by ROR was the grille of a Rolls-Royce car set into a stainless steel table. Starr had been inspired to create it after passing a car showroom near his house.
