TRADESHOW RECAP: THE 6 BIGGEST TRENDS FROM THIS YEAR’S DESIGN FAIRS



Luxury today no longer whispers through gold or gloss — it breathes through emotion, craftsmanship, and authenticity. The true measure of refinement lies in how a space feels: how a chair embraces, how light lingers on texture, how silence holds presence. Across the design fairs of 2025, one message resounded — luxury has become a language of sincerity. It speaks through honest materials, organic shapes, and a quiet reverence for the handmade.

At Sentta, this philosophy has always been more than a trend — it is our foundation. Each piece, sculpted by Portuguese artisans, carries the warmth of human touch and the precision of contemporary design. Here, we explore six movements shaping the interiors of tomorrow — a new grammar of beauty, balance, and belonging.


The Returning to Organic

In 2025, design returns to nature’s rhythm — curves soften geometry, and furniture flows with the ease of the human form. The Cintura Dining Chair by Sentta embodies this movement with a fluid silhouette that echoes the body’s natural contour.

Inspired by 19th-century fashion, its sculpted backrest recalls the gathered detailing of period dressmaking, framing the curve of the waist with elegance. Handcrafted in Portugal, Cintura unites historical grace with contemporary clarity — an ode to organic design that feels instinctive, emotional, and timeless.


Earthly Textures & Natural Hues

The palette of modern luxury is drawn from the earth itself — clay, sand, linen, and stone. These tones ground interiors in tactile serenity, inviting calm through texture and warmth. The Sierra Lounge Chair by Sentta embodies this grounded elegance with sculpted ash wood, softened edges, and a deep upholstered seat that balances comfort with visual lightness.

Accented with subtle brass details, Sierra blends organic form with quiet refinement — a modern expression of nature’s palette. Designed for luxury residences and boutique hotel lounges, it is a piece that feels before it dazzles, where every surface whispers the poetry of craftsmanship.


Sustainable Craftsmanship

In a world increasingly defined by speed, Sentta remains devoted to the slow, deliberate rhythm of handcraft. Every piece is meticulously made by artisans in Portugal, where tradition meets contemporary design with quiet mastery.

Each chair, stool, and sofa carries the trace of the maker’s hand — a signature of authenticity that cannot be replicated by machines. From the cutting of the leather to the final polish of the brass, craftsmanship at Sentta is not a process but a philosophy. It’s about honoring material, respecting technique, and ensuring that every creation will outlast trends and generations alike.

This devotion to the handmade gives Sentta’s collections their distinct soul — an aura of refinement that comes only from human touch. True luxury, after all, is not perfection, but presence.


The Soft Minimalism Revival

Minimalism returns with a gentler soul. Cold whites and rigid lines give way to warmth, tactility, and quiet emotion. The Clyde Armchair by Sentta embodies this evolution — simple in silhouette yet rich in sculptural detail.

Inspired by the flow of the River Clyde, its X-shaped backrest and curved arms express movement and balance. Handcrafted in solid ash wood, the chair merges Nordic restraint with artisanal precision. Fully customizable in finish and upholstery, Clyde Armchair brings soft sophistication to luxury residences, boutique hospitality, and modern contract spaces — proof that simplicity, when shaped by craftsmanship, becomes pure elegance.


Modern Heritage

The most compelling interiors of 2025 weave the past into the present — where tradition is not discarded but reimagined. The Carson Screen by Sentta embodies this dialogue between memory and modernity, transforming craftsmanship into contemporary art.

Its dual-panel composition balances privacy and openness: one upholstered panel softens sound and creates intimacy, while the other, framed in ash with woven cane, filters light through layered transparency. Rounded profiles and a solid stone base lend sculptural stability.

A statement of modern heritage, the Carson Screen redefines partition as poetry — an object that honors Portuguese craftsmanship while shaping the elegant contours of today’s interiors.


Comfort as a statement 

Comfort has become the new currency of luxury. In a world seeking calm, the home turns into a sanctuary — and design becomes an act of care. The Scala Sofa by Sentta embodies this philosophy with enveloping form, sculptural poise, and quiet confidence.

Its stepped, architectural lines reveal changing proportions from every angle, while the blend of steamed wood and tailored upholstery balances structure with softness. Designed for refined living rooms, boutique hotels, and curated lounge spaces, Scala proves that true sophistication lies not in excess, but in comfort that feels profoundly human.

The Future Feels Human

The direction of design today mirrors the philosophy that has always guided Sentta: that true luxury is thoughtful, tactile, and deeply human. From the artisan’s hands to the curve of a lounge chair, from the calm of natural tones to the conscience that shapes every choice — this is where design transcends fashion and becomes legacy.
