1. We already know that the Chanel brand wants to conquer your nails, lips, purses, and—with the advent of Chanel’s temporary tattoos—the top layers of your epidermis, so what surface will Chanel conquer next? How about your forehead? Art student Ryan McSorley thinks so. In his final project for a product design class at Central Saint Martins, Ryan created Skin by Chanel, a collection of skincare standbys including a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, but with an unexpected addition: There’s also a headband that imprints the double C’s on your forehead, cheek, or facial surface of choice. If his prediction about the future of extreme branding ever comes true, people won’t have to ask you what moisturizer you’re using—the answer will be written on your face. via the pipeline

  3. What Watt? is a memorial to and a celebration of the humble incandescent lightbulb by London based designer Tim Fishlock. It’s a spherical chandelier, 1010mm in diameter made up of 1243 suspended bulbs of various shape and size, illuminated by a single low-energy light source. By 2011, all forms of incandescent light bulb will have been phased out in favour of greener alternatives. What Watt? marks the passing of a beautiful design that has remained relatively unchanged since its invention 130 years ago. via Contemporist
