Designed by Jon Gasca, Costura refers to the noble tradition of couture that has been the main inspiration for this seating collection. The Stua brand has worked with craftsmen to create a cladding cut like a suit for an innovative structure. The result is a collection of armchairs and sofas with a surprising design, perfectly combining timeless lines and innovative spirit.The legs can be oriented in two positions: forward for a minimalist look, or at 45 degrees for a more classic look. The Costura sofa with chaise longue comes with three small cushions (30x60). The chaise longue can be mounted on the left or right and reconfigured as required.
Born in San Sebastián in 1967, Jon Gasca graduated in industrial engineering from the University of Navarre. He then joined Stua, the company founded by his father, Jesus, in 1984. Together, they have maintained an unpretentious and accessible aesthetic, evoking the spirit of classic mid-century modernism. "We try to give people a sense of well-being, not opulence," says Gasca. "We convey freshness and a sense of belonging." Stua, under their guidance, Jon Gasca won numerous awards, including Spain's National Design Prize in 2009. Among Gascas's enduring creations are the Costura sofa collection, Eclipse tables, and the Nube armchair, the latter of which he co-designed with his father. Like all Stua products, these pieces intentionally blur the lines between residential and commercial furniture. "Home and office are two different worlds," Gasca points out, "but we try to take an in-between approach." More simply, when asked whether Stua makes furniture for offices or homes, he responds, "We just make furniture."

STUA
In 1982, Jesus Garcia founded Stua, a Spanish manufacturer of contemporary furniture. Stua offers airy, Mediterranean design; a tradition that is reflected in modern style. The collection is designed to suit both residential and office environments, which can be seen in the Gas office chair. The main feature of each Stua product is its durability, whether chairs, tables, stools (such as the Onda high stool), or storage. Stua favours the simplicity and timelessness of products, while also leaning on its principles concerning quality and attention to the smallest aesthetic detail.
