1+1=3 A Meeting Between Two Creates Something New
Beckmans School of Design showcase

This year, the final-year students in Product Design at Beckmans College of Design have created an alternative meeting place in Greenhouse at the Stockholm Furniture Fair.
The students have created a space to inspire informal gatherings of people, in the same way as you would meet spontaneously about town - sitting at the edge of a monument, on a front porch or a flight of stairs. The furniture in the showcase are based on indivdual briefs to create a specific type of furniture. In contrast to what is usually the case in Greenhouse, where many prototypes are for view only, the students have encouraged the visitors to interact with the furniture and the space. As a a bonus this year, the third-year students have collaborated with the second-year Advertising and Graphic Design students in creating a catalogue and a film.

I enjoy perspective truths; it seems like garbage until the right perspective. ;) and if were being really real wouldn't "1+1=" "4" :) cheers

Incredible! I can't imagine the time that goes into something like this. Considering this is all done with 3 dimensional objects, using only horizontal and vertical positioning, I'd have to say the equation is absolutely spot on. I'd like to see more works like this. Creativity at it's best.

Nice, but honestly BBC has been using this concept for some 7-8 years fot its ads, nothing new here I'm afraid

@Dennis, Honestly, Wow. Please stop hating and stop being such a douche. Where is your work at? What have you done lately? @artist/creator, nicely done keep cranking it out. I enjoy this piece.

This is ridiculous. 1 + 1 = 3? Aren't we being crafty. We're subverting everyone by creating an inherent false equation! We're so deep. We're so emotional. Art is bullshit. Also, I laugh at the irony of the "spam prevention" box.

You are all retarded. The equation is quite beautiful. As in a family, one (mommy) plus one (daddy) equals three (baby!)

i didnt bother reading much into this, but i think some people are missing the entire point. It couldn't be replaced with 1+1=2 because it is 3 for a reason. Making more out of something. There is a message. Notice what all the numbers and symbols are made of..... maybe im crazy

KaZ you're retarded, just thought you should know.

I wonder if certain people posting comments on here realize that they are coming off as being jackasses. Honestly, the concept of 1+1=3 is quite possibly that they wanted to do something odd with their art by putting everything together and making it look so uniform. Everything is put precisely where it should be to create the image and it must of took some hard work and effort to create. People like "Dennis" just need to stop commenting. Honestly. I see more productive posts from children on the internet.

Incredible artwork! I can only imagine the time it must have taken to put this together for it to come out perfect. Well done!

Wow. Really don't need the dramatic video. This isn't that cool and isn't even original.

The whole setup could have been very well depicted keeping 1+1=2. Instead, there is a diversion by making 1+1=3. Gives the furniture setup a touch of randomness. The discrepancy attracts more attention. Great way to arouse more curiosity. All the furniture shown above would add the much needed zest to my apartment. Great collection. I have stumbled this site.

And this is different from UK Channel 4 stings in what way exactly? This form of trompe d'oueil is old old old. This Tudor vid is lame.

Anything to do with 1984, 2+2=5? really great work looks like a lot of fun to create. My spam prevention was 10+10= should that be 30?

no it doesn't. just because you take some crappy picture and try to be "deep" doesn't mean you can change basic math.

You have made a big mistake! 1 and 1 doesn't equal 3, it's 2! Sorry for that!

cool~interesting conceptual work, just can appear 1+1=3 at one visual direction, maybe can get more unpredictable images from other direction~HAhA, nice work! I am gonna quote on my blog, is it fine?
