01 — Profile
Industrial designer with more than ten years across physical products, packaging and luxury objects — from research and architecture to CAD, CMF, visualisation and the engineering conversation.
I founded MALINYX Studio to work the way I think a product should be judged: evidence before form, decisions with reasons, and claims that carry the level they have earned. The portfolio shows each project at the stage it has really reached.
Selected experience

MALINYX Studio · France
Research-led product development, packaging and luxury objects: architecture, CAD, CMF, visualisation and documentation — including the 2026 re-engineering of my earlier designs.

Client work through MALINYX Studio
- 2024TILBED (Denmark)
Lighting and ceramics collection: six luminaires and a tableware range in one Art Deco geometry. The luminaires were made, delivered and sold — more than 500 pieces (reported) in Scandinavia and Turkey, sold in Turkey as NOVALUX Turkey.
Evidence
before form.
- Industrial & product design
From proportion studies to part lists: appliances, carry systems, refillable beauty.
THERMA · MONOLITH · ECS · CLX-CT-01 · ÉCLOS · AXON - Luxury objects & packaging
Watches, flacons, decanters and coffrets with real walls, fills and fits.
HAXĀ · ABAN · MARCELLA · ÉCLOS - Mechanism & interface
Bayonets, hinges, docking interfaces, load paths — designed to be assembled and serviced.
THERMA · MONOLITH · ECS · ÉCLOS · AHRK · AXON - CMF & colour
Colour, material and finish studied side by side, with the rejected directions shown.
THERMA · ÉCLOS · AHRK - Engineering communication
Drawings that print, measured tables, claims that carry their level.
HAXĀ · ABAN · MARCELLA · ECS · CLX-CT-01 · AXON - Research & AI-assisted workflows
AI imagery and tools used openly and labelled.
ZEWM_EXCMON · CLX-CT-01 · Cross-Tool · Field Notes
- 01Investigate
Reviews, complaints, failures, constraints — gathered before any form.
- 02Frame
Requirements with IDs, so every module can say why it exists.
- 03Model
3D models built to the depth each decision needs: Rhino and SolidWorks, or scripted geometry where key dimensions stay variables.
- 04Audit
Walls, fits, clearances and volumes measured on the model; interferences screened.
- 05Show
Renders that keep the true materials, drawings that print, claims that carry their level.

Tools
Competencies
Every project names its stage.
Every image, what it is.
Project stage
- AI visual study
An image-led exploration made with AI tools. It shows a direction, not a product model.
EXO · BOTA · IGNIS · Catch Rider Feline - Concept
A proposition defined through specification, drawings and visuals. Not a complete, measured CAD product.
MONOLITH RF03-U1 · ÉCLOS lipstick · AHRK · ÉCLOS Paris - Design study
One question taken deep — a mechanism, an interface, a form or a colour system — in CAD or drawings. Not a complete product.
THERMA · CLX-CT-01 · ÉCLOS Refill Ritual · Relief ring - CAD-developed concept
The product modelled in CAD to the depth the page states — exterior, key interfaces and the checks listed. Not built or physically validated.
HAXĀ · ABAN · MARCELLA · ECS · AURYN BLEND · ROSA ÉCLOSE · AXON - Prototype
A working prototype exists (an app, a tool or a functional model); the page says exactly what it covers. Form-only models are listed under Physical evidence.
TINY TOGETHER · PEBBY · Printed bag series · Cross-Tool Palette - Production project
Released for manufacture or sale.
ÉCLOS · TILBED · ÉCLOS Leather - Research / investigation
A research output — an investigation, a method or a set of principles — rather than a product.
ZEWM_EXCMON · Field Notes
Image types labelled at the image only when it matters
- 3D render
A render of the project’s own 3D model.
- CAD view
A clay or technical view of the CAD model.
- Technical diagram
A drawing, sheet or schematic made from the model or the brief.
- Original render
The original render, shown beside the 2026 model.
- Reconstruction
Rebuilt from documents or data — named as such where it appears.
- Source material
A board or page from the original portfolio.
- App screenshot
A screen from a working prototype.
- App screenshot · AI-generated art
A prototype screen whose illustrations are AI-generated.
- AI-assisted visual
Made with AI tools over the designer’s own forms or renders.
- AI-generated concept image
Generated from a written brief; it shows intent, never evidence.

- Client projectTILBED
Claim levels on figures a level, then its scope: “Designed · blockout”
- Designed
Drawn or modelled: the value exists in a design file. Not built.
- Model dimension
A dimension of the 3D model as designed. It describes the model, not a measured part.
- Specified intent
A target written down. Not built, not tested.
- Measured on model
Read from the model by a stated method. It describes the model, not a product.
- Screened on model
A thresholded check on the model — a screen, not a zero measurement.
- Counted
A count from the model or the project files.
- Reported
A production or sales figure reported by the designer; the records behind it are not shown on this site.
- Supplier spec
A value from a supplier’s published data, not measured here.
- In prototype
Observed in a prototype that exists — an app, a tool or a form model; the scope says what it covers. Not a test result.
- Not claimed
Said out loud, so nobody assumes it.
- AI-generated
An image that communicates intent. Never evidence.
