N-CC02 sofa - KARIMOKU CASE STUDY
Finally getting this one out there. This is the N-CC02 Club Chair, designed by Norm Architects and Keiji Ashizawa for Karimoku Case. It’s a piece that beautifully balances Japanese and Danish design sensibilities, featuring incredible Kvadrat textiles. This was one of my very first synthetic Gaussian Splat experiments using PostShot. To be honest, I sat on it for a while—the fabric looked stunning during training, but the fidelity dropped significantly once I moved it into the browser. I found the fix: adding &aa to the end of the SuperSplat URL. It completely changes the viewer’s anti-aliasing and brings back that essential material "feel." I remember Anders Bjerre from Norm Architects once mentioning that customers ultimately want to see exactly what’s in their project renders. Using 3DGS like this allows people to investigate and connect with the product's tactility before it even arrives—hopefully making them fall even more in love with the design. Workflow: Synthetic generation in PostShot using renders, point clouds, and camera data, then optimized for the web via SuperSplat and PlayCanvas. Big thanks to Anders and the team at Norm Architects for the inspiration, and to Karimoku Case for such a sculptural subject. Have you run into similar aliasing issues when moving from PostShot to a web viewer? Let me know if the &aa trick works for you!
