Alice’s Adventure’s: Funstuff and Pretty Things

there is a smarty pants over at wrongdistance.com but I haven’t discovered who the design genius is behind the curtain. i like his comments on the above designs he posted here today:

I like a lot of these designs as they document an interesting point in time: a meeting point between the frilly and ornate Victorian era and the simpler, more streamlined post industrial design world that was around the corner. It’s also interesting that while constructivist design has been thoroughly plundered and appropriated you dont see too many contemporary designers revisiting this era (though perhaps something like this might vaguely be related).
