Sentta at Maison&Objet Paris 2026
How light and dark redefine the same design language
The interplay between light and shadow is one of the most powerful tools in interior architecture, capable of transforming a singular form into two entirely distinct experiences. As we approach Maison&Objet Paris 2026, this dialogue between illumination and obscurity takes center stage. This year, the event explores how atmosphere dictates perception, challenging us to observe how the mood of a space can redefine the character of the objects within it. It is an exploration of duality—a theme central to Sentta’s exhibition at Maison&Objet Paris 2026 — where the brightness of day and the intimacy of night reveal different facets of the same artistic intent.
At the heart of this exploration is the Essex Collection, a sophisticated collaboration between Sentta and designer Javier Gomes. This collection serves as the perfect protagonist for this narrative of contrasts. Under the brilliance of light, the Essex pieces reveal their crisp lines and structural clarity, exuding an air of modern openness. Conversely, when placed in a darker, more moody setting, the same silhouette retreats into a silhouette of mystery and comfort, highlighting the richness of the materials and the depth of the textures. Javier Gomes has masterfully created a design language that is versatile enough to speak fluently in both bright and shadowed environments.
To fully understand the scope of design presented at Maison&Objet Paris 2026, one must look closely at the individual protagonists of the collection:
The Essex Daybed stands as a testament to versatile luxury. In a sun-drenched atrium, its elongated form acts as a sculptural centerpiece, capturing the natural light to highlight the precision of its upholstery. Yet, as the sun sets, it transforms into an intimate sanctuary for rest. It is a piece designed to bridge the gap between social openness and private repose, making it a highlight for visitors at Maison&Objet Paris 2026 seeking elegance in both morning rays and ambient evening glow.
The Essex Lounge Chair offers a distinct study in volume and embrace. Its generous proportions are designed to offer seclusion without isolation. In a bright, airy setting, the chair’s architectural frame commands attention, asserting a bold visual presence. However, in a dimly lit lounge, the focus shifts entirely to the tactile experience—becoming a personal retreat that prioritizes comfort above all else. This duality represents the core of Sentta’s philosophy for Maison&Objet Paris 2026.
Elevating the perspective, the Essex Bar Stool brings a vertical rhythm to the collection. Its slender profile creates a striking silhouette against a backlit bar, where its linear design speaks of modernity and order. In the context of a moody, evening cocktail setting, the stool’s rich materials catch the low light, adding a layer of subtle sophistication. It is a prime example of the grounded, refined stance that defines our presentation at Maison&Objet Paris 2026.
Finally, the Essex Dining Chair serves as the anchor for communal rituals. It is designed to navigate the shifting energy of the dining room, from the casual brightness of a breakfast gathering to the formal intimacy of a candlelit dinner. The chair’s aesthetic—defined by Javier Gomes´s signature clean lines—adapts effortlessly to the changing atmosphere, proving that functionality need not compromise the poetry of design.
Sentta is honored to present the physical manifestation of this vision. We invite you to join us at Maison&Objet Paris 2026 to witness how our craftsmanship adapts to these varying atmospheres, proving that true luxury is immutable, regardless of the setting. Come experience the tactile reality of the Essex Collection and discover how we are redefining the boundaries of contemporary furniture. We look forward to welcoming you at the JG Home Living booth (Hall 1 – Stand E88) from January 15th to 19th, where we will continue to shape the future of interiors together.

Sentta’s 2025 Year in Review
Milan, London, Barcelona, and beyond. If we had to summarize 2025 in a single sentiment, it would be momentum. This was not a year of standing still; it was a year of bold expansion, where we took the essence of Portuguese craftsmanship to the world’s most prestigious stages.
From the bustling aisles of iSaloni to the curated elegance of Decorex and the innovation of Interihotel, 2025 was a defining chapter. We didn’t just attend these events; we used them to expand our creative universe, engaging in a global dialogue about what luxury interiors mean today. Between award nominations and exciting collaborations, we strengthened our footprint across the international landscape.
As we prepare to turn the page to 2026, we look back at the milestones that made this year unforgettable—a testament to originality, resilience, and design excellence.
Architectural Volumes: The Bellagio Era
This year marked a pivotal shift in our design language with the introduction of the Bellagio Collection, designed by Santiago Sevillano. We moved beyond simple functionality to explore furniture as domestic architecture, creating a cohesive family of pieces where each element acts as a structural pillar of the room.
The narrative begins with the Bellagio Dining Table, the piece that established the collection’s geometric vocabulary. It was designed to bring a sense of sculptural stability to intimate dining settings. The focus here is on the central column—a bold, faceted volume that supports the top with effortless strength. It challenges the fragility of traditional table legs, offering instead a solid, grounding presence that turns even a casual meal into a curated experience.
Scaling up this ambition, the Bellagio Dining Table XL was introduced for spaces that demand grandeur. This is not simply a larger version; it is a monumental expansion of the concept. Engineered to accommodate the abundance of the season and large-scale gatherings, the XL iteration features a dual-column structure that commands the room. It transforms the dining area into a banquet hall, providing an expansive surface that celebrates the art of hosting without compromising on the collection’s signature architectural elegance.
Complementing these dining anchors is the Bellagio Sideboard, a piece that translates the collection’s rigorous lines into storage. It treats the concept of “containment” as an art form. The facade is characterized by a rhythmic play of vertical lines and volume, creating a dynamic visual texture that shifts with the light. It serves as the perfect counterpoint to the table, providing a sophisticated canvas for display while grounding the periphery of the dining space with its robust silhouette.
Finally, recognizing the need for adaptability in modern interiors, we launched the Bellagio Modular Sideboard. This iteration takes the static beauty of the original and adds a layer of versatile fluidity. It allows interior designers to play with length and composition, tailoring the storage solution to the specific architectural constraints of a wall. It is the ultimate expression of the collection’s philosophy: that furniture should not just fill a space, but actively shape and define it.
The Industry Consensus: Best Sellers of 2025
While innovation drives us forward, our classics keep us grounded. Throughout 2025, certain pieces cemented their status as true icons, becoming the go-to choices for interior designers worldwide.
This year’s Best Sellers tell a story of refined comfort. The Sierra collection, with its organic flow, and the tailored sophistication of the Essex collection, dominated the specification sheets of top-tier hospitality and residential projects. These models transcended trends, proving that “Design with Soul” is not just a slogan—it is a quality that professionals rely on, project after project.
Joining the ranks of this year’s icons is the Sierra Dining Chair, a piece that continues to be a celebration of Portuguese joinery. Its success in 2025 is attributed to its refusal of sharp angles; the solid ash wood frame flows in continuous, fluid lines that invite the hand to touch. Designers repeatedly selected the Sierra for its ability to bring tactile warmth and organic softness to rigid architectural spaces, proving that a dining chair can be both visually light and structurally robust.
Essex Lounge Chair In the category of leisure, the Essex Lounge Chair cemented its status as a cosmopolitan essential. Drawing inspiration from the architectural confidence of New York City, this piece became a go-to for projects requiring a “gentleman’s club” aesthetic updated for the modern era. Its popularity this year speaks to a desire for furniture that commands space; with its tailored upholstery and assertive silhouette, the Essex offers a moment of stillness and power, making it a favorite for high-end hotel lobbies and executive suites alike.
A Global Dialogue: Trade Show Recap
Our physical journey around the world was essential to our success in 2025. There is no substitute for experiencing the tactile quality of our materials and the precision of our joinery firsthand.

To help you navigate our catalogue, we have curated a guide to the essential pairings included in the final countdown sale, highlighting the iconic pieces that define “Design with Soul.”
1. Sofas, Lounge Chairs and Coffee Tables
The living room is the anchor of the home. As we enter 2026, interior design is shifting towards organic shapes and fluid layouts that encourage interaction and softness. The era of sharp, blocky furniture is giving way to pieces that feel like functional sculptures.
The Samara Large Sofa is the epitome of this philosophy. Its organic curves facilitate movement around the room and invite relaxation, acting as a functional sculpture that defines the space without blocking it. To create a cohesive sanctuary, pair it with the matching Samara Lounge Chair. This combination creates a visual dialogue of soft volumes and welcoming lines, perfect for a home that prioritizes well-being.
Ground this entire arrangement with the Alma Collection, a centerpiece that balances materiality and form, turning the lounge area into a functional sculpture perfect for well-being.
2. Dining Chairs and Dining Tables
The dining room is where the “Final Countdown” to the new year often takes place. It is where toasts are raised and resolutions are shared. However, the success of these gatherings relies heavily on one often-overlooked factor: the comfort of your seating.
The Lynn Oval Dining Table acts as the perfect architectural anchor. Its organic shape removes the hierarchy of the “head of the table,” encouraging a natural flow of conversation, while its slatted wooden base adds rhythmic visual interest. Pair this with the Essex Dining Chair. With its tailored upholstery and ergonomic backrest, the Essex offers a cosmopolitan level of comfort that ensures your guests linger happily from the appetizers through to the final espresso.
3. Sideboards and Best Sellers
Start your selection with the icons that define excellence. The Cintura Dining Chair transcends mere seating with its couture-inspired gathered backrest, bringing a layer of sartorial elegance to the dining experience. It is a piece designed to look impeccable from every angle, acting as the visual protagonist of the room.
Complete this narrative of sophistication with the Bellagio Modular Sideboard. Merging geometric architectural presence with refined utility, it serves as the room’s silent anchor. Its robust volume provides a pristine canvas for display while discreetly housing the essentials of entertaining, confirming why these models remain undisputed choices for luxury interiors.
4. Armchairs
Every room demands a statement piece that celebrates craftsmanship independent of the main layout. The Sierra Armchair answers this call as a celebration of solid ash wood, defined by continuous, fluid lines that reject sharp angles in favor of organic softness.
It adds a stand-alone sculptural element to any living area or master suite, commanding space without overpowering it. By offering a visual and tactile warmth, the Sierra enriches the design narrative, proving that a single chair can define the entire atmosphere of a room.
5. Bar Stools and Counter Stools
Vertical seating has evolved into a primary social hub, and consistency in design is the key to a polished look. Whether outfitting a commercial bar or a residential kitchen island, the Essex collection offers the perfect solution to bridge these varying heights with elegance.
The Essex Bar Stool brings a boutique-hotel energy to higher surfaces, while the Essex Counter Stool provides the perfect ergonomic proportion for kitchen islands. Both offer the same cosmopolitan style and deep comfort, ensuring a unified aesthetic that flows seamlessly across the different levels of a project.
6. Poufs
Versatile accessories are the secret to a layered, lived-in interior. The Hugs Pouf serves as a playful yet elegant addition, functioning effortlessly as extra seating for guests or a soft footrest for moments of relaxation.
Its distinctive design feature—a unique wooden detail that “hugs” the upholstery—adds a touch of warmth and texture to any corner of the room. It is an essential accessory for flexible layouts, proving that small details often make the biggest impact on a space’s character.
7. Daybeds
For the ultimate expression of sophisticated leisure, nothing rivals the presence of a daybed. The Ada Daybed XC captures this spirit perfectly, offering mid-century charm and deep comfort that invites a pause in the daily routine.
It is the ideal choice for curating specific zones, whether placed in a sunlit window bay for reading or used as a stylish divider in an open-concept suite. The Ada Daybed XC bridges the gap between architecture and furniture, creating a sanctuary within the home.

The Poetry of Rest: Sculpting Silence with Lounge Chairs
The curation of Lounge Chairs and Footrests is more than a functional necessity; it is a defining moment in interior design. In the narrative of a home, these pieces represent the chapter dedicated to the self—a solitary sanctuary where design meets the intimate needs of the body.
Unlike the sofa, which is communal, the combination of Lounge Chairs and Footrests creates a personal island of comfort, offering a unique opportunity to introduce sculptural forms and distinct narratives into an interior. At Sentta, our collection is designed to turn these moments of solitude into an experience of “Design with Soul.”
Here is a curated look at how we redefine Lounge Chairs and Footrests through our most defining silhouettes.
The Architectural Duo: The Jackob Collection
The Jackob Lounge Chair is a study in mid-century geometry, designed to command attention while offering seclusion. Its defining feature is the high “wingback” silhouette, which acts as a visual and acoustic shield, creating a private cocoon for the user. The chair appears to float upon its solid wood base, balancing the visual weight of the upholstered upper body with the lightness of the wooden structure, resulting in a piece that feels both substantial and agile.
To complete the ergonomic experience, the Jackob Footrest acts as the necessary conclusion to the chair’s lines. It mirrors the angularity and floating base of the armchair, ensuring visual continuity while providing essential support. Far from being a mere accessory, the footrest transforms the seating experience, allowing the body to fully recline and distributing weight evenly for a moment of absolute weightlessness.
The Dialogue of Forms: Goa Chair & Hugs Pouf
When selecting Lounge Chairs and Footrests for a contemporary minimalist space, the dialogue between pieces is key. The Goa Lounge Chair, designed by Francesc Rifé, conveys a sense of grounded lightness. Its beauty lies in the exposure of the skeleton; the solid ash wood frame is not hidden but celebrated, framing the upholstered seat with architectural precision. Its low profile speaks to a “quiet luxury” aesthetic, where the quality of the joinery takes center stage.
In a perfect juxtaposition, the Hugs Pouf introduces a playful yet sophisticated geometry to the pairing. Designed by André Teoman, this piece is defined by the way the rigid wooden element gently “hugs” the soft, upholstered cylinder. When placed next to the linear Goa, the circular nature of the Hugs Pouf softens the overall composition. It serves as an ideal alternative to traditional footrests, adding a layer of organic versatility that creates a dynamic layout.
Heritage Reimagined: Pipo Lounge Chair
Moving into the realm of sculptural expression, the Pipo Lounge Chair stands as a tribute to Portuguese heritage, specifically the wine culture of the Douro region. Its name and shape draw inspiration from traditional wooden barrels (“pipas”). The design is monolithic and enveloping, crafted from solid wood that has been masterfully carved to create a seamless, curved surface. It is a piece that demands to be touched, showcasing the raw beauty of timber in a form that feels almost like a living organism wrapping around the user.
The Grand Gesture: Scala Lounge Chair
Finally, for interiors that require a touch of theatricality and fashion, the Scala Lounge Chair offers architectural grandeur. Its design is characterized by its generous volumes and the distinct vertical detailing on the backrest, reminiscent of the pleats in haute couture or the columns of classical architecture. The Scala is a statement piece that anchors a room, offering a deep, plush comfort that invites long periods of relaxation, making it the ideal centerpiece for a luxury living room or a sophisticated hotel lobby.
Conclusion
Whether through the sharp lines of the Jackob, the minimalist dialogue of the Goa, or the organic curves of the Pipo, Sentta’s collection offers a diverse vocabulary of comfort.
These Lounge Chairs and Footrests are not merely functional objects; they are the sculptures that inhabit our quietest moments, proving that the most luxurious thing one can own is a beautiful place to rest.

Every great holiday memory is anchored by the table. The Bellagio Dining Table XL is designed to be the architectural centerpiece of the dining room, engineered to accommodate the abundance of the season with sophisticated grandeur.
The defining feature of the Bellagio Dining Table XL is its striking sculptural base. The geometric volume creates a sense of immense stability and permanence, essential qualities for a piece that serves as the heart of family gatherings. The expansive top offers a generous surface area, allowing for elaborate holiday-ready tablescapes without compromising the personal space of your guests. Whether finished in noble wood veneers or a luxurious stone top, the Bellagio balances robust construction with a sleek, contemporary profile, ensuring it remains a timeless staple for generations of celebrations.
The Art of the Host: Sierra Armchair
A truly successful holiday dinner is one where guests feel comfortable enough to linger long after the meal has concluded. The Sierra Armchair is masterfully designed for this specific purpose, blending structural integrity with organic softness.
This piece is a celebration of solid ash wood, defined by smooth, continuous lines that reject sharp angles in favor of a fluid silhouette. The joinery highlights the mastery of Portuguese craftsmanship, offering a visual and tactile warmth that enriches the dining experience. Crucially, the upholstered seat and supportive backrest provide an ergonomic embrace, ensuring that every guest enjoys enduring comfort throughout multi-course celebrations. The addition of brass-capped feet adds a subtle layer of metallic luxury, elevating the chair from a functional seat to a design statement perfectly suited for a holiday-ready home.
Intimate Conversations: Dama Armchair
The holidays are also defined by moments of quiet retreat and intimate conversation. The Dama Armchair is the perfect piece to facilitate a holiday-ready place, offering a distinct aesthetic that balances rustic charm with contemporary sophistication.
The Dama is characterized by its signature round backrest and enveloping form. This design acts as a cozy cocoon, physically hugging the user to provide a sense of protection and warmth—ideal for the colder months. The craftsmanship is evident in the seamless integration of the upholstered elements with the wooden structure. Whether selected in a textured bouclé or a smooth velvet, the Dama Armchair invites interaction through touch, making it an irresistible spot for relaxation or exchanging gifts away from the main bustle.
Deep Relaxation: Treno Lounge Chair LT
For the moments of decompression before or after the festivities, the Treno Lounge Chair offers the ultimate expression of grounded luxury.
The Treno Lounge Chair is designed to create a relaxed seating posture that encourages deep relaxation. Its sturdy wooden frame showcases the natural grain of the timber, grounding the piece in nature and adding a sense of warmth to the room. The generous, plush cushioning provides immediate comfort, while the wide armrests offer a substantial feel of solidity. It is a piece that commands space through its confident, architectural presence, offering a serene sanctuary for the host to unwind amidst the season’s activity, ensuring you feel truly holiday-ready.
Conclusion
The holidays are a time to pause and appreciate the beauty of our surroundings and the people who fill them. It is a season that demands quality—in our food, in our time, and in our environment.
By choosing Sentta, you are investing in an atmosphere of refined hospitality. You are choosing pieces that age gracefully and support the art of living. Let your home be a sanctuary of style and comfort this season. From the first toast at the Bellagio table to the last quiet moment in the Treno chair, ensure every interaction is supported by design that understands the soul of the season.

Winter Trends 2025/2026 redefine the language of comfort. This season, luxury interiors embrace the quieter rhythms of winter: softened silhouettes, grounding textures, and warm hues that cocoon both body and mind. It is a moment where furniture becomes more than functional design — it becomes atmosphere, emotion, and presence.
At Sentta, this approach is an extension of our identity, shaped by the hand of Portuguese artisans who sculpt every piece with precision, intention, and a deep respect for contemporary living.

Elevating the Counter: 4 Inspiring Luxury Bar Stools
In the realm of contemporary interior design, the dynamics of social spaces have shifted dramatically. The kitchen island has evolved from a mere prep station into the heart of the home, and the hotel bar has transformed from a waiting area into a primary destination for socialization. As these vertical spaces gain prominence, the demand for seating that compromises neither comfort nor aesthetics has reached new heights.
It is no longer sufficient for a bar chair to be merely functional. It must be an object of desire, a testament to craftsmanship, and a provider of enduring comfort. This is the philosophy behind the collection of Sentta Bar stools, where the “Design with Soul” manifesto is elevated to the counter level.
The Shift: From Perching to Lingering
Historically, high seating was designed for fleeting moments—a quick espresso or a pre-dinner drink. Today, guests and residents linger. They work from hotel lobbies; they enjoy full multi-course meals at the kitchen counter. Consequently, the ergonomics of high seating must rival that of the traditional dining chair.
Sentta Bar stools are engineered with this specific “long-form comfort” in mind. By blending Portuguese joinery expertise with high-end upholstery, we ensure that the experience of sitting high is as grounded and secure as sitting in a lounge chair.
Mid-Century Warmth: The Ada Bar Stool XC
For projects that require a touch of nostalgia refined for the modern era, the Ada Bar Stool XC stands as a quintessential choice among Sentta Bar stools.
This piece is a refined interpretation of mid-century modern seating, specifically curated for elevated kitchens and hospitality bars that seek to create a welcoming atmosphere. The design features a sculpted, wraparound seat that delivers exceptional support, hugging the user comfortably. Crucially, the softly radiused front of the seat eases pressure on the legs—a vital ergonomic detail often overlooked in high seating—ensuring comfort even during extended periods of use.
Layered cushioning keeps the initial contact plush, maintaining an upright yet relaxed posture. With its slender, tapered legs and a discreet footrest, the Ada Bar Stool XC offers a calm, architectural profile that complements luxury residential counters without overpowering the visual space.
Couture at the Counter: The Cintura Bar Stool
When the design brief calls for sophistication and a nod to high fashion, the Cintura Bar Stool is the definitive answer.
Drawing its name and inspiration from the concept of the waist, this piece brings a couture silhouette to full bar height. It is characterized by a gently gathered back and a tailored seat, which work together to maintain poised comfort, perfect for lingering over a cocktail.
The solid wood base provides a sturdy, organic foundation, while the defined footrest invites an upright, confident posture. Ideally suited for members’ lounges and elegant hotel bars, the Cintura Bar Stool demonstrates how Sentta Bar stools can act as a bridge between furniture and fashion, adding a layer of tactile storytelling to the interior.
Cosmopolitan Charisma: The Essex Bar Stool
For environments that demand a bolder, more architectural presence, the Essex Bar Stool delivers a cosmopolitan aesthetic that anchors the room.
This piece is designed to evoke the atmosphere of a high-end boutique hotel, regardless of where it is placed. The ash-wood frame traces a graceful, continuous arc around the back, showcasing the mastery of wood bending techniques. This structure supports a tailored cotton velvet seat or other premium fabrics, ensuring the posture remains poised and relaxed.
A slim brass footrest adds a subtle note of metallic luxury, contrasting beautifully with the warmth of the wood. The Essex stands out among Sentta Bar stools as a piece that balances masculine structure with soft comfort, making it a favorite for refined restaurants and luxury residential projects that require a statement piece.
Organic Fluidity: The Sierra Bar Stool
Finally, for spaces that aim to bring the tranquility of nature indoors, the Sierra Bar Stool extends the organic elegance of the Sierra collection to the bar area.
This stool is a celebration of fluid lines and natural materials. The solid ash wood frame features smooth, sculptural curves that mimic the softness of driftwood, removing any sharp edges from the visual landscape. These organic forms sit atop brass-capped feet—a signature detail that adds a protective and decorative element.
The tailored upholstered seat delivers the expected Sentta comfort, making this modern bar stool ideal for upscale bars where the ambiance is one of relaxed luxury. It exemplifies the versatility of Sentta Bar stools, proving that high seating can be as sculptural and artistic as it is functional.
Conclusion
Whether designing a private residence or a commercial hospitality project, the choice of high seating can define the functionality of the space. By selecting Sentta Bar stools, designers ensure that the counter becomes more than just a surface—it becomes an invitation to stay, to converse, and to enjoy the synthesis of design and comfort.

Bellagio Collection: A Dialogue of Material and Form
Where architecture meets artistry, the Bellagio Collection by Sentta emerges as a dialogue of material and form — an exploration of how wood, stone, and brass can coexist in perfect harmony. Each element is chosen not merely for contrast, but for conversation: the warmth of wood grounding the cool precision of stone, while brass traces the edges with a subtle gleam.
Every piece in the collection is conceived as an architectural statement, sculptural yet functional, tactile yet timeless. The result is furniture that transcends its purpose — commanding presence through proportion, texture, and balance. Designed for luxury dining rooms, private residences, and boutique hospitality interiors, Bellagio Collection embodies Sentta’s philosophy of craftsmanship as artistry: contemporary, enduring, and profoundly human.
Bellagio Dining Table
The Bellagio Dining Table embodies material dialogue at its most expressive — a meeting of wood, stone, and brass in perfect balance.

A delicate brass inlay traces the form, catching the light with understated radiance.
Commanding yet serene, the Bellagio Dining Table becomes a natural focal point in luxury dining rooms, private residences, and boutique hospitality interiors — a setting where intimacy meets artistry and craftsmanship defines atmosphere.
Bellagio Dining Table XL
The Bellagio Dining Table XL extends Sentta’s dialogue of material harmony to grander scales. Expansive in proportion and poetic in form, it rests on dual sculptural wooden bases that create rhythm, symmetry, and balance. The polished stone top appears to float above them with effortless poise, its crisp edgework revealing both strength and delicacy.
Subtle brass detailing traces the silhouette, adding a quiet gleam that elevates the table from furniture to focal point — transforming dining into an act of refined theatre. Ideal for boutique hospitality interiors and bespoke residential spaces, the Bellagio Dining Table XL embodies serenity through structure and sophistication through scale.
Bellagio Modular Sideboard
The Bellagio Modular Sideboard transforms storage into a statement of contemporary luxury and design intelligence. Crafted from wood, stone, and brass, it embodies Sentta’s architectural precision and commitment to material harmony. Its defining feature — a modular tray that glides outward to form an elegant serving surface — merges practicality with performance, turning function into experience.
Designed for refined dining rooms, intimate lounges, and boutique hospitality interiors, the Bellagio Modular Sideboard anchors each space with quiet sophistication. It is a testament to collectible design, where craftsmanship becomes structure and utility becomes art.

The Bellagio Sideboard embodies quiet luxury through a sculptural dialogue of wood, stone, and brass. Warm wood grain meets the cool smoothness of stone, while discreet brass accents trace the form with subtle radiance. Its architectural presence balances strength and softness, creating a piece that feels both grounded and refined.
Designed for sophisticated living and dining rooms as well as boutique hospitality interiors, the Bellagio Sideboard unites beauty and functionality with effortless poise. Here, craftsmanship is not decoration — it is structure, presence, and poetry.
In the Bellagio Collection, every line, joint, and surface reflects Sentta’s devotion to human touch — to the kind of craftsmanship that endures through time. Produced in Portugal by skilled artisans, each piece carries the subtle trace of the maker’s hand, the quiet precision that no machine can imitate. This devotion to the handmade is what gives Sentta’s creations their distinctive soul: an aura of refinement born from patience, proportion, and respect for material truth.
True luxury, for Sentta, is not found in excess or ornamentation. It resides in presence — in the way light meets surface, in the harmony between geometry and tactility. The Bellagio Collection embodies this timeless ideal: furniture as architecture, as emotion, and as enduring artistry.

Crafted with precision, character, and an instinct for what’s next, Sentta’s creations continue to capture the essence of modern luxury: beauty with purpose, emotion with form.
At Sentta, design is never about following trends. It’s about creating them. Every curve, seam, and surface reflects the dialogue between artistry and engineering — furniture that feels alive, built to be seen, touched, and remembered.
Goa Dining Chair
The Goa Dining Chair, one of the Sentta best-sellers, embodies the quiet sophistication of minimalism with an expressive soul, drawing inspiration from the tranquil sceneries of Goa.

Dama Armchair
The Dama Armchair is another Sentta best-seller, where softness meets structure — a study in geometry where clean angles meet softened edges. Its gently rounded backrest nestles within a crisp wooden frame, creating a dialogue between mid-century modern sensibility and contemporary design.

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.
