Remember how much fun we had when we got together and made a difference in two days? Well, a team of North Carolinians felt like taking matters into their own hands, without warning and without ceremony. Design activist extraordinaire and organizer of our Make a Difference event, Bryan Bell, recently shared with us these photos. He had nothing to do with the objects; neither did the photographer, Rebecca Necessary. They found the designs with a note attached that reads: “Anonymous public gifting by Raleigh designers.”

Be inspired. Click the image above to view a slideshow of the Raleigh designers’ work.
