Sergiu Obadae, Carpenter, Chisinau

Sergiu was born in the North of Moldova. A car accident completely changed his life 11 years ago and made him dependent on a wheelchair. Before, he used to work abroad for a long time and saw sports as his passion. After the injury, he discovered carpentry. Once inspired by a video on the Internet, he has been working with wood for about three years now. He learned and experimented with glass and wood. To his pleasure, his work always satisfied his customers.

Sergiu’s original technique combines various types of wood with liquid glass to obtain 3D works of exceptional aesthetic, which one can hardly take their eyes off because of incorporated visual effects. His exquisite handmade products (tables and doors) not only grace the interiors of Moldovan customers but also spoil the eyes of clients all over Europe. For his work, he uses high-quality wood and processes it with the utmost care. Though lacking support from the state, he keeps running his enterprise and strives to inspire others by his personal example. 

Sergiu believes that the most important thing is to find a job, that not only provides financial compensation, but also pleasure and a creative outlet. He claims that in any business support from people close to oneself is very important. Sergiu met his wife, who is now his most important supporter, after his life-changing injury.
