what is this

Eight years rendering objects for high-end furniture and product brands — Hudson Furniture, Decortie, Interezza. Now extending the studio into computational design: outfit recommendation systems, artisan keycaps, tools that think.

KombinApp · 2024 — · Sole Designer & Engineer

Outfit logic, taught to a model.

A Turkish fashion outfit recommendation platform built in four weeks — a CGI practice extended into machine learning and product design.

FashionCLIP embeddings, a custom neural network for compatibility scoring, and a real-time generator replace pre-computed batch queues. The visual discipline from furniture CGI — light, proportion, material coherence — becomes the training signal.

Physical · 1:1 Scale

Artisan Keycap Studio · 2025 — · Designer & Maker

Craft at 1:1, then rendered at scale.

Hand-sculpted artisan keycaps taken from maquette to catalog. A physical craft practice made legible through CGI.

Each keycap sculpted in polymer clay, mold-cast in resin, then documented through a full CGI pipeline: material capture, lighting rig, catalog renders for the collector market.

03 Studio Note

A studio of one, for now.

Burak Emre Arslan is a designer working between Istanbul and the screen. The practice began with light: how it moves across a brass handle, settles into a fabric fold, and defines the credibility of a rendered surface.

The studio is interested in the moment a render becomes a system — when the logic embedded in a single image can be extended into a tool, a dataset, or a new kind of design practice.
