The chef, an ambassador for the sleep solutions brand Senttix, will join the former basketball player to discuss the importance of nutrition, rest, and ergonomics as the cornerstones of a healthy lifestyle.
The event will take place on the morning of Tuesday, September 29, as part of the AMC Kitchen Lab program at Espacio Cocina SICI.
València, July 15, 2026.- Renowned Basque chef Martín Berasategui, one of the most acclaimed chefs in the world, and former Spanish international basketball player Fernando Romay will be among the leading figures in the parallel program of Espacio Cocina SICI 2026, Spain’s premier trade fair for kitchen furniture and equipment, to be held from September 28 to October 2 at Feria Valencia as part of the València Inspira Diseño initiative.
The two will take part in a public discussion on the morning of Tuesday, September 29, at the AMC Kitchen Lab Auditorium, located on Level 3 of Pavilion 3 at Feria Valencia. Centered around the connection between sport, cooking, and the home environment, Romay and Berasategui will share their experiences and reflections on how healthy habits influence people’s well-being and quality of life.
The discussion will focus in particular on how balanced nutrition, restorative sleep, and ergonomics contribute to improving health and well-being at home. Drawing on the experience of two leading figures from such different fields as haute cuisine and elite sports, Martín Berasategui and Fernando Romay will share their perspectives on the importance of adopting healthy habits and creating environments designed around people’s needs.
In this context, ergonomics emerges as a key consideration in spaces such as the kitchen, helping to enhance comfort, functionality, and the prevention of injuries during everyday activities.
This message aligns with the philosophy that Berasategui promotes as ambassador for the Spanish sleep systems company Senttix, a regular exhibitor at Feria Hábitat València. Through its The Art of Sleeping Well philosophy, the brand advocates that proper nutrition and quality sleep are inseparable elements in achieving a healthier, more active, and more fulfilling life.
Berasategui’s participation at Espacio Cocina SICI also exemplifies the synergies fostered by València Inspira Diseño among the various sectors connected to the habitat industry, from furniture and interior design to kitchens, sleep solutions, and personal well-being.
