Anatomy Lesson: Our favorite body part designs

by Maxwell Tielman

We interrupt your daily feed of Design*Sponge goodies to bring you this important message: Don’t panic, but the design world may or may not be in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. No, I’m not referring to the back-from-the-dead return of Postmodernism or the reclaimed wood trend that refuses to die (not that we would ever want it to!). My cause for concern is that all of the sudden, everybody seems to have a mad, hungry craving for BODIEESSS! From Isaac Nichols’ fabulously nip-tastic ceramics (NSFW?) and Ellen Porteus’ patterns of hands to straight-up gruesome limb-strewn prints by Faye Moorhouse, disembodied human body parts are all the rage these days. Not that we’re complaining. In all honesty, with designs this cute, consider us bitten. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite new human body-themed designs — dig in! —Max
