Taiwanese artist Yung Cheng Lin, commonly known as 3CM, visualizes themes of women’s issues, social standards, and body modification through a photographic lens. the artist interprets these subjects through simple tools and materials that interact with a human body to reveal a message and convey an idea. red string, push pins and roses literally intersect the female figures in the photographs, creating striking and somewhat alarming visual compositions that come to life through digital manipulation. via designboom.com

Uuni 2 – Portable Pizza Oven by Kristian Tapaninaho @Kristian Irey

When Finnish-born Kristian Tapaninaho decided to make pizza at his London home, he had a problem…his domestic oven couldn’t achieve the authentic wood-fired taste Kristian desired. His solution was to design a portable pizza oven made from brushed stainless steel, that heats up to 840°F (450°C) by burning 100% oak wood pellets. Within 10 minutes of lighting, you can cook a pizza in less than 2 minutes. via contemporist.com
