Greg Brotherton's fantastical sculptures use parts from antique machinery to create beings and scenes from a world that is part Jules Verne and part Tim Burton.

BEAUTY: Interiors--Adam Wallacavage

Artist, photographer, and sculptor Adam Wallacavage creates a line of fantastic, whimsical octopus chandeliers that feel quite Steampunk-y (hello "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea!"). I would love to use one of them in a project for an Interior Design client, but I am not sure I have anyone that adventurous on the docket at this moment.

BEAUTY: Painting--Ray Caesar

Ray Caesar's spooky paintings are a kind of Georgian steam-punk/ 1950s science fiction hybrid. Angelic, tattooed children are not really children at all but spider-like aliens with tentacles or pincer arms, or even robots. They exist in a Regency tableau, waiting...

BEAUTY: Interior Product Design--Schoolhouse Electric Co

Schoolhouse Electric Co. is a Portland-based lighting fixture company that specializes in the reproduction of antique fixtures, glass shades, and lamps. Aside from a marvelous selection of chandeliers, pendants, and sconces from 1900 to the 1950s (based on original designs, some using antique molds for fabrication!), they just introduced a line of table lamps that seems to combine several periods; several even invoke a Steampunk vibe, especially the Beaker Lab lamp!

They also sell the Edison bulbs you see in each socket. Edison bulbs seem to be one of the hottest trends right now in the Interior Design world. I have seen them in design show houses for two years and counting!

From top to bottom, we see two views of the Ion table lamp, the first with a khaki twisted fabric cord and the second with a red twisted fabric cord. Next is the charming Beaker Lab light, followed by the Lift, Task Lab, and Orb table lamps. Visit their website to see more!
