I’d be curious if there is someone designing art or tech in this style.

Zillions of people. Usually it gets called steampunk (18xx) or dieselpunk (193x-194x). 195x-6x futurism usually ends up going very Googie. And we’re starting to see 70s/80s retrofuturism, mostly I’d say the word associated with that is vaporwave.

More art than actual tech, and most of the tech is one-off hand-built stuff.

Cassette Futurism for the '80s. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CassetteFuturism

Vaporwave, despite using a lot of 80s samples, is generally more associated with the 90s. Vaporwave is all about the simultaneous apex and decline of mall culture, consumer excess in optimism of the post-Cold War, and early WWW aesthetic.

70s/80s would be Cassette Futurism and Sythwave.

Would cyberpunk count as 90s retrofuturism? Or have we decided it hits too close to home for present times?

[irscott]

Nah cyberpunk is it's own thing and the aesthetic way predates the 90s.

Cyberdecks[0] come to mind. There seems to be quite an active modding scene; I remember seeing a few Pi-based ones recently.
