I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

Intaglio by White Webb
White Webb, the designers behind the last post, also have a fascinating line of furnishings called Intaglio.
These highly graphic furnishings are silk-screened using hyper-enlarged antique engravings, which convey both a sense of classicism and wit.
