I love it when function and design aesthetics come together, especially in the form of a medical device which is often times a challenging feat. Check out this experimental ring by Electricfoxy that will keep track of your pulse. I would wear it in a heartbeat!

Corbett commissioned creative production studio Taylor James to create the print campaign for Takeda, the Japanese pharmaceutical company. The campaign for their latest drug- Hypertension, an anti-hypertensive drug, consisted of three shots: a heart (shown), lung and brain (click on link below to view these). It's very beautiful and effective!
I love how these wonderful illustrations literally drape themselves over wingback chairs, making themselves right at home! This anatomically upholstered chair is named "Flow" and is part of a series of '50s style Swedish armchairs designed by Paris-based AK-LH.
I can't stop looking at these portraits made from the subject's DNA samples and personal "debris" left behind. A cacophony of eyelashes, hair, pins, vials. It's all so creepy, weird, funky and at the same time pretty cool.

This exhibition of artist Juan Gatti's work showcases a series of drawings which combine anatomy drawings of the human body and taxonomy of plants and animals. He claims to have a "more rationalist side and another side that's closer to glam", all of which is evident in this beautiful collection of collages. www.mfilomeno.com/juan-gatti/ad/personal/exhibition-ciencias-naturales.html
I love this anatomical design scheme created by Swedish designer Kari Modén for Swedish pharmacy chain Vårdapoteket. The rich colors and simplified anatomy are a modern and inspiring solution. These lovely illustrations are used on bags, walls and advertising. Simply gorgeous!
