It would take time, a bit of skill and a lot of crazy both on the part of the client and the craftsman :bigbye: Now, why do I know that? :evilgrin: Paul |

Is it possible to have this fabric made up for us? I for one would love to re-do my interior in Op-Art...
Maybe a group buy is possible??? |
I wonder if you could use your laser engraving technique (like on the Porsche crest in the arm rest)..and set up the pattern on a large piece of leather. I can see an alcatara (suede) style with the impression of the pasha pattern - used for the center sections of the front seats....
You won't get the black/white checkered look...but would be cool nonetheless.. later, Tom |
Looks like its really hard to keep clean.

Doh..!! Speed reading doesn't work so well sometimes. haha..In general I think it would make for a nice subtle accent for the 87 and up 928's....over the standard perforated leather... When I see the pascha interior I automatically think Old Bugger....would seem odd to have it in a S4..but either way...what would it cost to do the center section in that style..and then sew onto the seat? (do you have any pics of the experiment you did?)
Thanks, Tom 89GT |

weaving would not work for a few reasons, the main being the fact that if you want to keep the illusion effect of the design, each square needs to vary in both width and height. Paul |

Thanks, Tom 89GT I have too many projects on the bench right now :) And this one is not ready for prime time yet. But it is on the bench and I will have both pictures and prices as soon as I am satisfied with the result of the samples. Paul |

Personally weave to me would look like a retiree's hat or bowling shoes :D ... I want it painted or dyed.

Should be very close to an op-art effect. Nicole But you are right, that is one way that could work, just not the look I'm after. It's a good catch on your part though, I didn't see it like that at first. Paul |
Wow - the link to the Vasarely auction is the first time I've received art education from e-bay.
Thanks for the links Nicole, it's amazing that this stuff is out there. Let's keep this thread alive, in hopes that someone finds an amazing Pascha source for 928s! |
