As the steampunk aesthetic continues to grow beyond fashion, music, conventions, and modded gadgets and computers, a passion for antiques, clocks, taxidermy, and oddities can quickly expand to encompass one’s surroundings, including exploring unique shops and boutiques that specialize in such treasures.
True, the above photo is not a picture from our apartment or the shoot, though what I would do for that couch and wallpaper!
TimeOut Chicago’s Jessica Herman has flattered us dearly by allowing us to grace their newest issue as well as giving us a lovely write up on their webpage along with fantastic photography by Erica Gannett. I will say that I am quite proud of the things I’ve brought to the apartment, but most of the praise should go to Kenzie, who has a true eye for detail and placement.
If anything, I hope the article inspires all people from the curious masses to pioneers of industry to perhaps take a cue and veer away from plastics, bright colors and boring shapes and instead adopt an aesthetic at once organic and embracing of the industrial. If you look around, you can see it’s already begun.
We here at Steampunk Chicago, are proud and honored to be part of that.
You can check out the article at TimeOut Chicago here, and the Huffington Post also grabbed it.
Best,
The Lord Baron
