DIA Design Wrap

The DIA brought together design students, recent graduates and educators across Melbourne to test their skills in Design Wrap, a fast-paced design challenge involving everyday objects and a whole lot of imagination. The basement of Donkey Wheel House played host to the event on Thursday 8 December, with participants really stretching the limits of available materials to create some marvellous designs.
