Kanso
Istanbul studio for brand, native app design, and development, behind the DATALAND museum app
Kanso is an independent design and development studio in Istanbul, founded by Furkan Kılıç. A team of six covers brand, native app design, design systems, interaction design, and engineering. The name comes from the Japanese word for simplicity, and the studio states four principles: craft, clarity, care, and focus. The site shows three case studies. Kanso designed and built the iOS and Android app of DATALAND, the museum of AI arts, from February to August 2026. The other cases are a sales service app for Derimod and a football scouting app for Pro Legacy. Testimonials come from Refik Anadol of DATALAND, Chiliz, and Derimod. The site publishes no prices.
Use it as a benchmark for a small product studio that designs and builds native apps end to end. Study the DATALAND case for a real-time companion app, and the studio page for team and principles copy. The site is a Framer build with motion-heavy pages. Read the case studies in a browser, because the text alone misses the visuals.
Why it is here. It shows how a six-person studio presents end-to-end native app work, from brand through engineering, with a museum-scale client case.
