About us
By Mery Togonidze - founder of Twentyfive.
The idea of our coworking in Tbilisi was born in 2023, when the founder - Mery Togonidze, and the designer - Nato Bagrationi started working on a renovation project, initially intended for rent on Airbnb.
Designed fully by Nato Bagrationi (including furniture - the desks and the sofa), the project came into fruition easily with support of family funds.
The idea was to create a comfortable, cozy coworking space in the old town of Tbilisi. The space should feel like a home and would have its residents focused on their work. We wanted the work to be most comfortable. So, we added as many electricity outlets as possible, comfortable tables and seats, beautiful minimalistic kitchen. The idea is now alive. Customers mention the workspace feels nice and comfortable.
The idea was based on the necessity to find a quiet place, where I would focus on my tasks without interruption (being a lawyer, working remotely, working from home was not always the best option). Finding a workspace, where other people's calls and conversations would not bother the worker, and that would be affordable and close to home - was quite hard. Now it's possible for everyone to share the space and work together!
The idea to call the coworking a "shared space" is also something we, together with brand designers - Nutsa Togonidze and Anka Gvazava - who did amazing job of feeling the idea - helped create the name too (by the way, logo design is by Nato Bagrationi too). We wanted the place to be called something that is connected to humanity, sharing, friendship - far from cold corporate feeling. Shared space - felt like calling this place something that is for everyone, not only for those intertwined in corporate world. Whether you want to come here to paint, or work for IT job - the space is to serve all.
As you may have guessed - the name "Twentyfive" - is because the place is situated at 25, Lado Asatiani street, Tbilisi, Georgia.
