Tubądzin Design Days, an impressive event in Slovakia!
On June 15, 2023, a brilliantly designed event dedicated to architects and business partners took place in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia, under the Tubądzin Design Days formula!
The Tubądzin Group together with Ingema, our long-time Business Partner, were the partners of the event.
The inauguration of TDD took place in Ingema’s showroom, where the guests were welcomed by the authorities and representatives of both companies. It was here that the premiere of the Tubądzin Group’s new products introduced to the Slovakian market took place.
Invited architects from the “Dobry Interier” studio presented their own realizations using large-format slabs in projects during their own speech.
They showed an extremely colorful palette of possibilities and the joy of designing with the availability of such an impressive line of slabs provided by the Tubądzin Group.
There was also a presentation of Visoft products with a demonstration of the possibilities arising from the implemented design programs.
There was no shortage of practice and realization during the meeting, thanks to the prepared training for contractors in slab processing.
After the official part, the guests were invited to the conference center and there, in a gala atmosphere, dealerships were awarded and honored in various categories: scale of investment, sales growth and “love” for slabs.
We can boast a steady increase in interest in selling our products in this geographically beautiful country, and the result of 23 company zones in Slovakia speaks for itself.
This is not the last word.
Trade partners from Hungary were also guests at the event.
Throughout the event the keynote was “Good Design, Form, Color”.
In addition to the official part, there was no lack of time for relaxation and good notes.
Form, light and sound in a good way!
Tubądzin as a leading manufacturer of ceramic tiles in Central Europe strives to meet the needs of both less and more demanding consumers. Each customer desires a beautiful space and our role is to provide emotions that respond to this sensitive need for aesthetics and beauty.
We would like to thank our guests and our business partner Ingema!

TDD Online: architecture, business, design
A unique series of events − a series of online meetings for architects and designers “Spaces in the era of change.” We know from the experience of previous editions that architects and designers look for inspiration outside the framework of their profession, which is why the event is divided into 3 modules: architecture, business and design. 3 days, 3 topics, 9 guests. Available for viewing on Youtube.
Module 1: Architecture
How will COVID-19 affect newly created spaces? The sudden, forced need to stay at home for several months is an occasion for reflection. Will the post-pandemic experience change the art of design, or will everything return to the way it was before? How to design a space that can be “modelled” according to changing needs? Is it possible? How are our workplaces changing? Will we, for example, give up open spaces?
Module 2: Business
How will the current situation affect the real estate market? The housing industry is consistently growing from year to year and nothing foresaw any sudden changes that could take place. Where is man as a buyer in all this? To what extent will the demand for homes / office spaces meet developers’ current plans and their future investments? Will a possible change of the working mode to the home office be a real threat to the rental market?
Module 3: Design and trends
Signals of changes in design and business − consumption and further challenges. Design, as the art of creating projects, originally assumed adaptation of the immediate surroundings to human requirements. The question of the present is whether design can oppose overconsumption. To what extent do designers create durable and unseasonal items and interiors today? Will the retail crisis affect consumption in the fashion industry?
