LA Good Questions: Ocean's 13 Panels?

AT:LA reader Santos brings us an appropriate Hollywood themed query about some wall and screen panels that made a guest appearance in the film Ocean's 13:

Hi there! I love the Moroccan-pattern inspired wall panels seen in these stills from Ocean's 13. Do you know if they are a commercially available product (like those composite wall panels of the modular arts/inhabit/b+n industries variety) or am I destined to spend my weekends with a lot of decorative molding and a miter saw?

We thought you had us stumped, but by chance this afternoon we saw the Abstracta Airflake sound absorbing screen and remembered your query. The Airflake is actually a felt material modular system that comes in five colours and four patterns at about $332 for a set of 10 (a US rep for Abstracta products can be reached at 610.370.9686/Brian Lutz).

Under Products, look in the iconic Panel Catagory. They have some cool wall decor options.

i really like the wall where its white on white! i bet if you were creative you could use something like foam, or clay to recreate the look... but that would be easier to do if everything was painted.

i haven't seen anything like that for sale, i bet they made them especially for the movie.

kdkaboom: Ha! I sent that site to Leslie yesterday at AT-SF. I want to live in a retail store. LOL! I can think of endless uses for all their products.
