Rodney Kinsman RDI
Birth Date: 1943
School: Central School of Art & Design
Rodney Kinsman RDI (1943-) studied furniture design at the Central School of Art in London until 1965. Together with Jurek Olejnik and Bryan Morrison, he founded OMK Design in 1966 to make the furniture they designed. In 1980 they were approached by the British Airport Authority (BAA) to design a seating system for Gatwick Airport. This triggered a move into public sector seating resulting in a further commission in 1990 to design a seating system for British Rail.
Since then OMK have further expanded their range to satisfy the evolving needs of public area seating.
In 1983 Rodney Kinsman became a Fellow of the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers and, in 1988, an Honorary Fellow des Royal College of Art
