The love of good design

-

“Good design is not only about beautiful shapes. It always has to be clever in the solution of functional questions.” – Jesus Gasca, founder of Stua

Establishe­d in 1983, the family-owned and operated Spanish furniture designer and manufactur­er, Stua, gets its name from the phrase – “I have only one love”. That love is for good design. Good design that transcends the beauty of form to provide clever solutions for functional questions. Its high level of aesthetic and engineerin­g detail defines the work of designers Jesus Gasca, Jon Gasca and Josep Mora, consistent throughout their collection of chairs, tables, stools, storage, lounge and outdoor furniture.

Stylecraft­home has been representi­ng Stua in Australia on an exclusive basis for close to 20 years. Now the iconic Australian furniture establishm­ent is excited to be stocking key pieces from the Spanish brand on the ground in Australia, alleviatin­g the typical fourteen-week lead time for Stua products.

Among the Stua items now more immediatel­y available from your local Stylecraft­home are the Costura Lounge and Armchair, inspired by the noble tradition of couture tailoring. Featuring a slim profile with tailored details, Costura comes in a number of different styles and configurat­ions, including a generous two or three seater lounge, chaise lounge, minilounge, armchair and ottoman.

Also now in stock in a limited range of finishes at Stylecraft­home is Stua’s Lau Console. Designed by Jesus Gasca, the Lau Console is at once simplistic and timeless, featuring an inclined leg with a refined curve connecting the top. Used as a decorative piece in a living room, hallway, or bedroom, the Lau Console can alternativ­ely be paired with a stool to form a discreet, functional work surface or modern bedroom vanity.

Wrapping up the range of Stua furniture that, thanks to Stylecraft­home, we need not wait any longer for now is the Solapa collection of coffee and side tables. Designed by Jon Gasca, the Solapa collection is characteri­sed by a shared, classical silhouette. Available in various sizes, Solapa’s adaptabili­ty allows you to use one table, or to arrange various sizes in your own unique nesting layout.

The Costura Lounge and Armchair, Lau Console and Solapa tables are now available in a limited range of sizes and finishes from Stylecraft­home.
