ARCHITECTS’ SEMINAR AT THE INSIDE AREA SHOWROOM

An architects’ seminar dedicated to our Ideas4Wood contest was held in Bergamo. The event was promoted in collaboration with Inside Area and took place at their showroom, under the patronage of the Fondazione Architetti di Bergamo.

Professionals were involved in an in-depth moment of discussion and exchange focused on wood species and the materials offered by Tabu. Participants had the opportunity to experience the materials firsthand, touching them and perceiving the different sensations each wood essence provides. Wood was the central theme of the seminar, explored from research and sustainability to its potential applications in architecture.

The architects in attendance also followed the complete presentation of our Ideas4Wood contest and expressed great appreciation for the event.

We would like to thank Inside Area for their collaboration and professionalism, as well as the Fondazione Architetti di Bergamo for their trust.

OPEN DAY AT TABU | POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF TURIN

Today we welcomed students from the Politecnico di Torino for a guided tour of our production departments.

The company visit began in the log yard, where the students learned how incoming raw materials are handled and processed. The tour then continued to the slicing department, where they observed the slicing machine in operation, followed by the quality control area and the selection of freshly sliced material. The final production department visited was the jointing area, after which the students were introduced to the warehouse, where customers inspect and test the materials prior to purchase.

Special thanks go to Prof. Luca Vivanti for his availability and organizational support.
