Steampunk design emphasizes a balance between the form and function.[47] Like the Arts and Crafts Movement, this blurs the line between tool and decoration. Various modern utilitarian objects have been modified by enthusiasts into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical "steampunk" style.[6][48] Example objects include computer keyboards and electric guitars.[49] The goal of such redesigns is to employ appropriate materials (such as polished brass, iron, wood, and leather) with design elements and craftsmanship consistent with the Victorian era,[13][50] rejecting the aesthetic of industrial design.[47]
