ADA — A Tribute to Timeless Sophistication
Cross a threshold lined with chevron oak and brass, and Ada lowers the volume of the day. The collection translates the quiet prestige of classic English interiors into a modern vocabulary: curved timber rails that guide the hand, upholstered forms with a soft architectural presence, and metal accents that catch the afternoon light without clamoring for attention. In a heritage townhouse suite, Ada becomes the connective tissue between eras—honoring tradition while living fully in the present.
Ada’s silhouettes suggest ceremony, but never stiffness. Lounge chairs settle the body with firm kindness; dining chairs carry the spine over long, lingering meals; compact sofas tuck neatly beneath windows or between bookcases. The visual language is continuous: rounded corners, layered volumes, and proportions that read as tailored rather than tight. That tailoring is literal. Seams are crisp, double-stitched where stress demands it, and piping or edge-stitch options let design teams tune the expression from restrained to richly dressed.
Materials complete the portrait: ash wood; natural, performance, or aniline leathers; textured weaves that soften acoustics in tall rooms. The palette leans to tobacco, ink, moss, and warm neutral fabrics—tones that feel at home beside patinated hardware and aged stone. Despite the collection’s poise, every touchpoint is practical: contract-grade textiles for longevity, removable seat covers on request, and foam builds selected for lobby-to-residential versatility.
Ada is designed by Mónica Braga dos Santos for Sentta—an elegant synthesis of mid-century clarity and handcrafted warmth. The designer’s signature shows in the collection’s graceful curvature and layered volumes, notably in pieces like the Ada Sofa XC, where comfort and sculptural presence dovetail.
A coordinated collection—bar chair, lounge chair, compact sofa and daybed—that lets designers furnish suites, lounges, and private residences with a single, coherent voice. Ada excels in conversation groups: an armchair facing a two-seat sofa or twin chairs flanking a hearth for intimate reading corners.
