Punt

Punt is a Spanish furniture brand — founded in 1980 in Valencia by designers Vicent Martínez and Lola Castelló. The name is the Catalan-Valencian word for "point" — a symbol for the starting point of every line, every design, every object. The company was born from the impulse of two young designers in a Valencia that barely knew design. The breakthrough product came in 1985: Literatura, a bookcase system by Vicent Martínez with two overlapping levels, the front of which glides on wheels. At its first trade fair debut in Valencia, Literatura was already present in over 30 countries — and anchored the brand globally. 1997: Premio Nacional de Diseño — Spain's highest state design award, conferred for the body of work. Museum collections: Museum für Angewandte Kunst Cologne, Design Museum London, Victoria & Albert Museum London, Museu de les Arts Decoratives Barcelona. Production: 100% in Spain, in Paterna (Valencia), by experienced craftspeople. Philosophy: "Art in Design" — design as sculpture, not as mass product.

Iconic products: Literatura (bookcase system, Vicent Martínez, 1985 — double-row overlapping, front row on wheels), Stockholm collection (wardrobes, sideboards, chests, desks; Mario Ruiz; Red Dot Award 2015 — aesthetics of 1950s Scandinavian design, reinterpreted with anodised aluminium rail detail), Malmö wall system (Mario Ruiz), GIN modular sofa (Terence Woodgate — infinitely configurable), Bay table (Arik Levy — quartz and wood as material pairing), Rio collection (Sebastian Herkner, Salone del Mobile 2022), Velasca cabinets (Ludovica Serafini, Salone del Mobile 2022), Hug chair (Manel Molina). Designer collaborations also with Norm Architects (Copenhagen), Stephanie Jasny (Berlin), Borja García. Product categories: shelving, bookcases, sideboards, wardrobes, TV units, tables, chairs, sofas, desks, lighting (since 2022) and rugs. Materials: solid wood (oak, walnut), veneered MDF, anodised aluminium, glass, leather, quartz.

For architects and interior designers seeking for premium residential, boutique hotel room, design office, cultural and demanding international storage and residential furniture contract projects a Spanish design brand founded in 1980 by Vicent Martínez and Lola Castelló in Valencia that with Literatura (1985, worldwide export to over 30 countries in its debut year), the Premio Nacional de Diseño 1997, collections in the Design Museum London and the V&A, designer partnerships from Sebastian Herkner to Norm Architects, the Red Dot Award 2015 Stockholm by Mario Ruiz and products entirely handcrafted in Paterna (Valencia) combines Scandinavian design discipline with Mediterranean craft identity — Literatura after nearly four decades continues to demonstrate that a single rigorously conceived piece can anchor a brand worldwide, and that Paterna, Valencia, exports more design than many realise.
