since 2016 : Where Art, Scent, and Beauty Collide

Founded in Seoul in 2016 by the creative minds behind Gentle Monster, Tamburins extends the eyewear brand’s disruptive design ethos into the realm of beauty. Conceived as a “sensory art and beauty house,” Tamburins treats cosmetics not simply as products but as collectible design objects and multisensory experiences. Its DNA is artistic, tactile, and conceptual, an elevated vision of beauty where every product carries the weight of storytelling and aesthetic intrigue.

Multi-Layered Visual & Sensory Narrative

At Tamburins, packaging is more than protection; it is narrative and sculpture. Hand creams are designed like miniature clutches, folding and creasing like leather accessories.

The Shell Perfume Hand Cream features subtly asymmetrical seashell shapes, ensuring no two pieces are identical.

Egg-shaped lip balms resemble artifacts, while matte black pump bottles transform soaps into minimalist objects of art. Each creation blurs the line between sensory indulgence and ritual utility, positioning daily essentials as objects of desire.
