It reminds me of Boldport, who made project kits that were also works of art [0]. The funky PCB traces and shapes were all hand-drawn, I believe, rather than drawn up in a regular EDA program.

I recently just finished a custom PCB art piece -> https://www.behance.net/gallery/137418457/NGC-2336

It was an interesting learning experience that brought me much closer to being able to create functional PCBs. The 45° angled traces however are just such a part of the classic aesthetic it's hard to go for something else. I'll definitely try some more exotic ones in the future.

The Boldport kits were designed with PCBmod-e (https://pcbmode.com/), which was created by Boldport's founder Saar Drimer.
It seems all of it is sold out. But yes, looks marvelous on the pictures.
