Cosentino’s TAB Series comes to a grand close after 3 inspiring years

Cosentino’s Talks on Architecture and Beyond Series come to a close with its last ever talk, on Thursday, 14th December 2023.

The TAB Series was an ongoing series featuring various experts in the field of architecture and design, coming together to share ideas and experiences, as well as visions for a better and more sustainable future in the industry. In its lifespan of 3 years, the series saw a total of 35 talks featuring up to 46 speakers from across the globe. The TAB Series was created with the main objective of empowering the design and architecture community in Singapore and South-east Asia, while also shedding light on working towards a more conscious and sustainable form of architecture.

The latest and last talk of the series featured Hossein Rezal, Global Design Director of Ramboll Group & Milan Research Lab, and Schirin Taraz-Breinholt, Director (COO) of WOHA, and was a huge success as they shared their inspiring speeches, and answered several thoughtful questions. As the talk came to an end, Maria Fernandez, Marketing Lead for Cosentino, APAC, was invited to give the closing remarks.

"What a journey it's been! Tonight’s session marks the closing of the TAB Series after 3 editions, and our hearts are overflowing with gratitude, and a bit of nostalgia with a sense of accomplishment. It truly means a lot to us!"

“The TAB Series was a successful platform that promoted the importance of knowledge sharing among designers and people in related fields. We trust this will not be the last of such conversations and discussions which impact the built environment of this little red dot. We hope it might even spark a global network where architects can come together to share knowledge in Cosentino showrooms all around the world.”
