Tanda is an interesting word. It has many meanings in different cultures and context. (We represent them all!)
Different Meanings of Tanda:
We like to see ourselves as a social circle, not for funding, but committed to building a better world by making regular contributions of our creative talents, passions, time and efforts.
We are a collective that want to remembered by forging long-lasting and impactful relationships with the people around us.
We seek to orchestrate a symphony of life and space changing projects that seek to forge a better world for all of us.
Not really. You can call us that if you like.
HOWEVER....
We don't only focus on interiors. Nor do we only design.
We like to call ourself a Space Transformation Agency. One that seeks to transform all spaces, exterior, interior, outdoor indoors. Basically every area (even non-physical ones!) that our bodies inhabit, and making them better for every one.
We are different. =)
Tanda Creatives is
Modern
We do not run on traditional business principles, but instead pride ourselves in keeping up with the latest trends, and constantly learn, innovate, research and test new ideas and approaches.
Multidisciplinary
We do not limit ourselves to traditional design related disciplines, but draw our inspiration and expertise across wide-ranging and often novel perspectives like bio-mimicry, design psychology, design thinking... Anything that helps us expand our field of view in driving creativity and effectiveness in all that we do.
A Cooperative Agency
We are not a company that is owned by share-holders, hires employees working for a salary and exist solely for profit. We are the brain-child and currently a subsidiary of Think.Shift.Design, whose platforms serve to support people and organisations to work together in order to accomplish goals that they they would not be able to achieve on their own, with an over-arching goal to bring about positive change in the world we live in.
Traditional Business Vs Cooperative Agency
An Organisation based on cooperative values brings many obvious benefits to members such as sharing costs of resources, greater business opportunity or financial dividends. But the process of being an active member brings its own rewards, allowing members to solidify social and economic links and relationships within a community. Perhaps most importantly, membership provides a common ground and support to reduce isolation and build new confidence and skills to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
A Different Control Structure
Our executive operations and strategy is based on a democratic system of one-member/one-vote, not one-vote-per-share. This helps to serve common interests and to ensure that people, not capital, control the organization.

A different Allocation of Profit
We share profits among members on the basis of how much you use the organization and how much involvement you have within the organisation, and not on how many shares the owners hold. You have an open, fair and direct control over how much earnings or commitment you want to have.
