Who couldn't use an extra foot in height? Maybe not the always-hilarious artist Dominic Wilcox, who himself is tall, but that doesn't mean he's not sympathetic to the vertically-challenged. "I was standing at a gig and turned to see a small woman dancing away but unable to see the band," he writes. "This gave me the inspiration to design a way for people to see over obstacles such as tall people like me."
The result is his One Foot Taller Periscope Glasses:
"The piece was made from one sheet of mirrored acrylic bent precisely," Wilcox reports.
I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
