The furniture from the collection is already installed on the six most popular beaches in Greece. To produce these six sets, the designers used 720 kg of plastic waste.

5. Manufacturer of “smart furniture” – the company “Tabula Sense” together with “Samsung” and “Jabra” has developed a new generation negotiating table for online communication – Tabula Sense Zoomer.

The pandemic and lockdown contributed to the most positive assessment of all the possibilities of online business negotiations: solving business problems and concluding agreements became possible with minimal time.

Tabula Sense Zoomer’s name is associated with the spread of the Zoom video communication program in a pandemic. The verb “to be confused” has even entered the modern lexicon.
