The Story Behind Eva Joan

We’ve long admired the gorgeous, innovative work happening over at the Eva Joan studio in New York City’s West Village. The story of our artistic collaboration with Eva Joan’s creative masterminds, Emma and Bjorn, is one of unbridled creative freedom. We sent over samples of our Shades for the Eva Joan team to experiment with freely, and the result is a boundlessly inventive product that has left us at Tulip HQ speechless. This collaboration has unlocked limitless possibilities of what can come in the future.

Get to know Xavier Donnelly, our esteemed collaborator

We sit down with New York City’s own Xavier Donnelly — the creative director and designer behind some of today’s most iconic luxury destinations — for an illuminating conversation about how lighting can transform a space. “Overhead lighting [can] be tricky if it's too bright,” he confesses to our founder, Lori. “That being said, I think overhead lighting is really helpful and in illumination, and you just want it to be very soft and diffused.” Read on for more from that conversation.

Making the mood right with mood lights

Winter is here — the days are shorter, the sun is a tad more shy, and the tenants of apartment buildings are, well, more in danger of Seasonal Affective Disorder. Having a cozy oasis in times like these could not be more crucial; in fact, without a fluffy nest to curl up inside for these times of hibernation, bad vibes become perilously possible for renters.
