After completing his education in interior architecture, Kerim Çarmıklı worked on numerous private projects of varying scales in Turkey and abroad. Combining his architectural background with material research, craftsmanship, and artistic expression, Çarmıklı gradually developed his practice into a personal field of narrative and exploration.
Çarmıklı’s work spans furniture, lighting, mirrors, decorative objects, ceramic pieces, and bronze works. Each piece emerges from an intuitive and experimental dialogue with the character of its material. Bronze, wood, stone, ceramic, and glass are reinterpreted through their relationship with surface, texture, light, and time.
In his work, function is only the starting point. For Çarmıklı, a table, a light, a mirror, or an object exists beyond its utilitarian purpose; it becomes a sculptural presence, a form that engages with space and carries an emotional resonance. Craftsmanship, material intuition, and a distinctive formal language create a coherent aesthetic throughout his practice.
Produced as limited editions or one-of-a-kind works, these pieces are positioned at the intersection of art and design. Through his practice, Kerim Çarmıklı brings together the trace of craftsmanship, the memory of materials, and a contemporary understanding of form to create distinctive works with collectible value.
Melis Çarmıklı oversees the administrative and organizational structure of Artiscape, ensuring the brand moves forward with stability and consistency. With her background in law and her analytical perspective, she brings discipline and continuity to its processes.
As Kerim Çarmıklı’s life partner, she also plays the essential role of complementing his creative journey. While Kerim focuses on his designs, Melis takes on the responsibilities behind the scenes, allowing the brand to function seamlessly. In this way, Artiscape becomes not only the result of an individual vision, but the balance built together.
Artiscape is a contemporary gallery representing the works of Kerim Çarmıklı. The gallery presents Çarmıklı’s signature furniture, lighting, mirrors, objects, and sculptural forms as collectible pieces positioned at the intersection of art and design.
Çarmıklı’s practice is rooted in the character of materials, craftsmanship, and the emotional power of form. Materials such as bronze, wood, stone, ceramic, and glass are reinterpreted through their relationship with surface, texture, light, and time. Each piece is conceived beyond its functional purpose, as a sculptural presence that enters into dialogue with its surrounding space.
Artiscape’s selection consists of bespoke, limited-edition, and one-of-a-kind works. The gallery brings Çarmıklı’s material intuition, connection to craftsmanship, and distinctive formal language together with an international collector audience.
With this approach, Artiscape is positioned within the field of contemporary collectible design as a refined gallery identity that brings together art, design, and craftsmanship within a unified aesthetic vision.
In Kerim Çarmıklı’s designs, everything begins with the essence of the material. Bronze, marble, glass, fabric, and wood are individually crafted through traditional artisanal techniques, each finding life with its unique texture. None of the pieces are products of mass production; every detail is shaped by Çarmıklı’s aesthetic vision, gaining its own identity.
From the modeling process to surface textures, from patina techniques to material combinations, every stage is handled with precision. The enduring patina of bronze, the natural veins of marble, the clarity of glass, the warmth of wood, and the texture of fabric come together to form a unique harmony.
Çarmıklı’s creations are not merely functional objects; they are special works that reveal the soul of the material, blending with craftsmanship and telling their own distinct stories.
