Jesús Gasca

Jesús Gasca is the founder and principal designer of STUA, a contemporary furniture company based in the resort town of San Sebastían, Spain.

STUA prides itself on producing a limited range of furniture, with each piece exquisitely executed out of the finest materials.

The style of the work can be characterised as Scandinavian with a Mediterranean touch. The company’s mission is, “to improve the habitat in which we live, by refining our designs, and using recyclable components and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.”

Contemporary pieces of high technology and simple shapes. Always thinking about the fuction objects have to have, but with shapes that are new and as close to the user as possible.

STUA which Gasca founded in the early '80s, has allowed him to develop his own work as a furniture designer. Trained as an engineer, Gasca specialises in technically complex design with attention to detail. Gasca’s recent designs include the Onda stool, Globus Chair, Sapporo Shelving System, Gas Chair and the Deneb Collection.

He has also collaborated with Josep Mora to create the classic Egoa chair. Gasca has received the most important design awards for the Gas chair.

The STUA company has been awarded the National Design Award. The most important recognition to a design company in Spain.
