At Sereni-tea by Tania's Teahouse, Tania invites you to escape the nuances of one's daily life and bask in our calm and serene environment, whilst nourishing the mind, body, and soul with our mindful menu. Tania's goal is to share the healing benefits of teas and draw awareness towards the importance of self-care and holistic well-being, whilst building a tribe of serene clients. All teas by the brand are custom-blended, organic, and ethically-sourced with zero artificial ingredients. Our menu accommodates all dietary restrictions, with a focus on anti-inflammatory, gut-healing and delicious dishes for all flavour palettes. The interiors, unlike the pink flagship, are muted, earthy, neutral-pastel colors, such as sage, oatmeal, taupe, dusty rose, and terra cotta, with elements of terrazzo tiles and plants that are warm and relaxing, where the concept remains instagrammable, but impactful. Sereni-tea will also encourage the love and care for furry friends, with a pet-friendly garden.

In 1999, Gerhard Kolflaath, the founder of Vabene, developed the concept in Sweden and Italy, Vabene’s mission was simple; to bridge the gap between Italian quality manufacturers and the Swedish market. Vabene has been developed in close cooperation with Italian producers and supplies products wherever Vabene established itself. Initial production began in two factories serving kitchens and bathrooms. Vabene has now expanded worldwide working as a single-source turnkey supplier for all your Italian interior products and services in one convenient location, with 28 affiliated factories.

Vabene casa is generally around 800-1000 Sq. M. the second brand in the portfolio is Vabene itself which concentrates on kitchen and bathroom space requirements 300-500 Sq. M. Our customers beyond end-consumers include: Interior designers, Architects, fit-out companies and property developers, and the suppliers within the Vabene network are geared for large projects such as Hotels, Large mansions and large residential projects. In terms of positioning, Hacker is the brand that price-wise comes closest to Vabene, but Vabene has a larger range. Vabene is a no-royalty franchise model, with high margins and great expansion potential. No stock is maintained as the products are all produced based on customer requirements.
