The Spanish company Sentat, a recently created company that makes seats for public spaces, has equipped the Nordseter school in the Nordstrand district of Oslo with its “Punto” seats. The school’s original building, built in the 1960s with a capacity for 1,100 students, has undergone extensive renovation.
 
The challenge of this refurbishment project, led by Enerhaugen Arkitekter and the design studio Zinc, was to create an optimal environment for teachers and students. Through the efficient use of space, functional furniture, and meticulous color choices, inspiring and warm environments have been designed to facilitate interaction and promote multiple ways of learning.

In order to choose the most appropriate furniture, different proposals were tested in some of the school’s classrooms in order to observe the students’ reactions and assess which ones were best suited for them, both individually and as a group. The “Punto” seats, designed by Inma Bermudez, were selected for their flexibility, color and durability. "The seats encourage mobility, teamwork and collaboration, and they make students more receptive to learning," noted the project's Creative Direction team. And we find them in the students' classrooms and also in the most representative central space, the auditorium (a large common room with wooden bleachers, which allows different activities to go on simultaneously).

The Sentat furniture brand was born in 2019, with the aim of offering practical and integrative solutions to humanize and energize collective spaces. The company exports practically the majority of its products to markets such as Norway, Sweden, Ireland, France, Japan and Canada.

Their “Punto” seats, which are made from a single piece of high-density molded polyurethane, are designed for use in offices, schools, libraries and museums. These designer seats won the ADCV 2019 Silver and ADI-FAD 2020 bronze awards. The “Punto” collection also includes practical carts for convenient storage and transport.

The industrial designer Inma Bermúdez created the Inma Bermúdez studio in 2007—a project that would be joined in 2009 by Moritz Krefter. Their work focuses on furniture, lighting and accessories, and they have developed products for companies around the world, including Ikea.
