Architecture and interior design are universal languages, but their true magic lies in how a piece of furniture adapts to the unique narrative of a specific space. From historic transformations in Wales to high-end residential quarters in Bristol and luxury airport lounges, SENTTA’s collections continue to travel the world, bridging the gap between premium craftsmanship and global design requirements.
In this week’s recap, we look back at six recent international projects where our curated seating collections helped top-tier design studios turn ambitious concepts into tactile, sophisticated realities.
Hospitality Refinement: Heritage Reimagined & Intimate Dining
- The Parkgate Hotel (Cardiff): As one of Cardiff’s premier luxury destinations on Westgate Street, this stunning project reimagines two historic landmarks—the former Head Post Office and County Court. In collaboration with the WRU, the Celtic Collection, and fit-out specialists Castlebrook Furniture, the historic charm of the building is effortlessly balanced with contemporary elegance. Enhancing the sophisticated bar and restaurant spaces are the Essex Armchair and Essex Bar Stool designed by Javier Gomez, introducing a cosmopolitan, New York-inspired character rendered in rich ash wood, a brown pewter finish, and plush cotton velvet.
- Blok – Welsh Hotel Spa (South Wales): In South Wales, the Dawnvale Group cleverly transformed an under-used restaurant into an intimate, atmospheric dining destination. For BLOK’s private dining room—conceived for exclusive dinner parties and layered sophistication—the Essex Armchair and Essex Counter Stool were chosen once again. Their clean lines and deep textures perfectly complement the warm, moody, and upscale atmosphere of this award-winning hospitality venue.
Premium Lounges: Elevating the Travel Experience
- John Lennon Airport – Aspire Luxe Lounge (Liverpool): Designed to offer comfort and calm before take-off, this refined lounge developed in collaboration with PS Interiors International provides an exceptional space for global travelers. To achieve this serene atmosphere, the Cintura Dining Chair adds a touch of 19th-century fashion-inspired elegance, featuring its signature gathered upholstery that traces a natural curve. Complementing this, the Ada Bar Stool by Mónica Braga dos Santos brings mid-century modern proportions, offering generous volumes upholstered in premium cotton velvet.
Next-Generation Living: Elevating Residential & Student Spaces
- Centre Court (Nottingham): Modern student living demands a vibrant harmony between functionality and high contemporary style. Developed alongside UK furnishing specialist Project FF&E, Centre Court Nottingham enhances campus life through premium social spaces. To anchor this dynamic environment, the Goa Lounge Chair was integrated, bringing its timeless form, industrial-meets-interior design philosophy, and understated elegance to the communal living areas.
- Redcliff Quarter (Bristol): Also situated in Bristol’s central Redcliff district and designed by TEN London, this premium residential development bridges the worlds of hospitality and home. To evoke a sense of immediate warmth and residential comfort, the shared spaces feature the Goa Lounge Chair by Francesc Rifé Studio, demonstrating how its clean lines and perfectly balanced proportions adapt seamlessly to modern urban living.
- Glasshouse Square (Bristol): Located just a short walk from Bristol Temple Meads, these bright, contemporary Build-to-Rent apartments feature sweeping skyline views and premium finishes. Esecuted in collaboration with TEN London, the interiors focus on holistic, aspirational living. The Cintura Lounge Chair was selected to enrich the lounge areas, adding its sculptural volume and timeless sophistication to the residential layout.
