Blade Runner Asthetic
To me one of the most facinating and still to this day compelling things about BR is the asthetic(s) that Ridley and art staff created for the film. It took a bunck of Ridley's(and my) Favorate artistic things and put them into one movie and some how spawned a vision of the future that is still being copied today(and coming true on its own).
Ridley took...
-Art Deco
-Film Noir
-Ancient indian and Aztec design
-Frank Lloyd Wright architechture
-Industrial architechture and landscapes
-Heavy Metal(Metal Hurlant) adult comic art
-Syd Mead's Visual futurism and Industrial Design
-(cyber)Punk
-Asian themes
-Vangelis's electronic music
....and spawned a whole genre of Anime', Manga, and Distopian Science Fiction films.
MY Question here is could we start a thread of new and current Items that fit this theme to create our own BR environment without just copying the film. We could let eachother know what new products are out there when we come accross them to help eachother with giving our places a "BR make over"
here are a few pics to get things started.

Sorry for posting so much crazy stuff my TV broke and I decided not to get a new one yet...
