dominic wilcox: speed creating
the newest project from UK-based designer dominic wilcox is entitled 'speed creating',
in which he designed something creative each day over a period of 30 days. at home, in the studio,
on the train... wherever he was, wilcox made something out of materials he had around him.
this just a look at some of the objects he created over the 30 day period.
