Hey there, I've been wanting to work on a desk mat for a while but never knew what to design until I saw this optical illusion on pinterest.
Current Status 24/11/2021
After some discussion with other designers and early feedback I have archived a few colours and brought out some new colour combinations to match existing keycap sets.
I hope you like the new combinations exampled, I chose these colours as they pair well with not only their keycap set but are neutral enough to fit with other keycap sets and keyboard colours.
I will aim to order some samples next week dependant on the feedback and begin vendor selection.

Samples arrived Mid-Jan and I have finally got around to looking at them and updating my IC.
Modol Pink, Livia and Drac are nice but arent contrasting enough to be attractive and didn't have much attention. Lilac wasn't sent in this sample set so will be ordered in next round.
Overall pleased with the quality of the mats, some minor changes to be made. All the mats that have a dark background will have black stitching as the printing on the stitching is weak and isn't consistently spread out; lighter mats will have white stitching.
I've narrowed down the potential combinations moving forward because I don't want to limit the useability of certain mat colourways.
Feel free to leave some feedback in the comments, Interest Form or in my Discord.

Another round of poor sampes I have decided to put Chasm mats on hold until resources can be devoted to refining the design and seeing them into production. I think the design has merit but time and resources cannot be devoted to seeing it through at this stage.
