Contrasts of life explored by design students at Stockholm Furniture Fair

Would a night still be a night if there were not a day to compare it with? The more you learn, the more you realize that everything exists at once with its opposite, that the contradictions of life are everywhere and that somehow the mediation between these opposites is the game of life.

In this year’s exhibition at Stockholm Furniture Fair, the graduate Product Design students of Beckmans College of Design have explored contrasts.

How can an object or a piece of furniture exert an act of resistance? Where do you draw the line between private and public? Where does rationality and fantasy meet? Can long-term happiness be found in materialism?

Students in Visual Communication have created the communication concept In Contrast, inspired by the Design students’ individual expressions and perspectives. The result is shown in graphic design, digital communication, film, sound, and exhibition.

Visit us in the Greenhouse-section, showcase VH03:01, at Stockholm Furniture Fair, February 4-8, to see how thoughts about contrasts can create new expressions and perspectives.
