Jon Gasca is a creative who works in design and communication at STUA.

how did you discover your interest in the world of design? Would you say it is your vocation?

STUA i've been surrounded by this world since I was a child. I would say that design is something that has always been present in my life.

what does design mean to you?

At STUA we are not big words or meaningless phrases. For me, design means working to make small changes that improve our environment.

what are your hobbies?

My passion is contemporary art.

what is your inspiration?

I am inspired by the great masters of design, by nature, by processes.

A material

Fabrics, textiles, are my forte.

A color

I don't have an answer for this one. Color for a shirt: white. Color for a car: white. Color for a sweater: gray.

Functionality first and then as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

what is STUA and how do you want it to reach the public?

STUA is a furniture brand that tries to create timeless furniture. Furniture that can be with us for a long time, contemporary classics.

what makes STUA different?

STUA it has a very small collection, where each piece has a lot of work behind it. No matter how much time or effort a piece of furniture needs. We have the patience to give it to you. Imagine that the Gas chair took 14 years to create....

what is your favorite piece from STUA?

The Laclassic chair is my favorite piece because it combines enormous visual simplicity with enormous technical complexity.

do you think your designs reflect your personality?

I guess they do. I seek to create environments that make us feel happier. That are human. I like design that doesn't impose itself, that is subtle.

Five tips or tricks when it comes to creating spaces

1. Give a lot of importance to lighting. The home I like is lit with a light temperature of 2700K.Anything above thatis cold

2. Use wood on the floor

3. Don't try to make everything coordinated, but allow us to mix different finishes

4. Leave empty space for the house to breathe so we can buy things in the future

5. It is better to have a few high quality furniture than many low quality ones
