He familiarizes them with contemporary global achievements in furniture design and design.

In 2009, he co-founded the Tabanda group with friends. Tabanda designs and produces furniture, driven by a fascination with materials and a desire to explore their potential and limitations. Tabanda's style is based on subtle contrasts and unconventional combinations. Nature-inspired motifs are incorporated into modern geometric forms, with raw industrial accents combined with vibrant, cheerful colors. Tabanda's products have been exhibited and awarded multiple times in places such as Imm Cologne, Maison et Objet (Paris), ICFF (New York), IDFFHK (Hong Kong), Milan Design Week, DMY (Berlin), and 100% Design (London).
