Tulura is an independent luxury botanical skincare brand created Eileen Feighny, a former professional model brought up in Korea and now working from New York. The first of Tulura’s products is a two-step moisturising program that includes a vitamin peptide serum and a botanical facial oil made from seasonal ingredients hand picked and custom-blended. Ingredients are chosen for their effectiveness, and formulations created without the use of fillers, fragrances, synthetic emulsifiers and preservatives.
Tulura worked with Leeds-based studio Build to develop a “contemporary, diverse and engaging” brand identity to “inspire and motivate women and beauty enthusiasts”. Build describe their approach as taking a “simplistic, clean and honest approach”. This is expressed by the structure and composition of packaging, in the layout and typesetting of label, and in the lines and forms that make up Tulura logotype.

Mauritshuis is an art museum and state-owned building constructed in the 17th century and located in The Hague. The building is described as being a fine example of Dutch Classicist architecture. It was formerly the residence of count John Maurice of Nassau and has been home to the Royal Picture Gallery since 1822. Today it houses a plethora of Golden Age masterpieces, including works by Rembrandt, Jan Steen and Vermeer.
Following a two-year period of refurbishment the building was reopened in the summer of 2014. To coincide with this occasion a new brand identity was commissioned. Designed by Studio Dumbar this new brand identity, a mix of metallic inks and dyed papers, a serif monogram and contrasting sans-serif type, full bleed and cropped images, over-print detail and bright contemporary spot colour, neatly reflect the contemporary revitalisation of a classic building and gallery.
