Jon GASCA

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."
