I know, we've expressed our love of treats here at Tulisan, but under it all we really are on the hunt for the best flavor and health ratio. [...]

Step 5: Prototyping (Design) Our design instructor Sébastien Théraulaz always repeated time and again "when we have an idea, make the prototype," that way, we see the tangible form of our ideas and notice if it translates well visually or whether we would need to tweak bits and pieces before achieving our desired result.

As nurseries are meant to serve its role as a place of care, Nursery Floribunda has the exact same purpose of initiating care to its environment. Firstly established in the year 1988, this humble plant development has been a family enterprise handled by a mother and her two daughters. Having encouraging the habit to be concerned of their surrounding since a young age, Nursery Floribunda has extended their voice in making us aware of the importance of organic farming.

 “The revitalization of  Jakarta since 2014 is a creative agenda. Without nostalgia, we could not return to the past; we “return” to the future, back to the future. We revitalize Space to Time; we change something stagnant to something of movement” – Goenawan Mohamad Jakarta’s Old Town or familiarly known by the inhabitants as Kota Tua has always been a place to gather recollection of Jakarta’s past. The Old Town Area has beared witness of being the remaining district during the Dutch colonial time in the 16th century. [...]

Step 4: Prototyping (Print) The production process and raw materials used at Tulisan is thoroughly evaluated with proper research and development to comply with the Sustainable Design Principles – a design standard emphasizing environmental preservation by reducing carbon footprint. While the initial process of illustrating is spontaneous, full of character, and would capture emotions and stimulate the imagination, the composition of the prints must always be manually developed to become the patterns for textile. This art form is taken from the ‘Originals’ editions where each element is manually transformed to become a textile pattern. [...]

As a brand, Tulisan always tries to find the middle ground in bridging tactile work of art and its counter digital format. As much as possible, we always find a way to incorporate the love for traditional production methods in every step of Tulisan's artwork. [...]

Breakfast on Tuesday.  8:14 a.m.  Warm toast.  Salted butter.  Milk forming lazy swirls atop the dark coffee in my cup.  The butter takes precisely 1 minute 47 seconds to dissolve into a salty puddle (which is just the way I like it). These are the little things that you begin to take notice of after reading Georges Perec’s Species of Spaces and Other Pieces.  This book is a collection of the author’s essays and articles translated from his native French into English.

We've got HATS in our Darmawangsa Square Store! We are all currently swooning of all the ways we are gonna wear these! [...]

Here at Tulisan, our coffee ritual is on the verge of sacred. Like clockwork, every morning, lunch and afternoon, someone is basking in their coffee, and like fingerprints, and snowflakes, the art, and preparation is different for all of us. Between Nescafe, Nespresso, Starbucks and Ibu Didi's Bali Coffee, it's everywhere. That said, hands down one of our favorites is Anomali Coffee, Kopi Asli Indonesia. [...]

Singapore has been a "melting pot" as long as the Indians and Chinese were trading. The country stands proudly on a campaign of cultural harmony, and aims to be a petri-dish for artistic innovation in Asia. With that in mind, we were introduced to an ancient art form, that rarely travels from in roots in Kerala, South India.
