Stua, a company which won the Premio Nacional de Diseño (National Design Prize) in 2008, has now opened a shop in Madrid. The space, which has been redesigned, is very high-ceilinged – over 6m tall – and has enormous windows. It has two distinct areas: a lower floor housing a showroom and an upper one converted into an area for working and meetings. The two parts are separated by a spectacular screen – one of Stua’s own designs.

 

The redesign of the space was undertaken by Francisco Varela and Jorge Stinus, of architects 3.14 Gestión y Arquitectura (which has offices in Granada and Madrid). Opting for simplicity, order and plenty of light, the architects approached the project in the spirit of taking advantage of the space’s many design possibilities and with the aim of making the showroom the main focus of the project.

 

The result is an all-white space devoted to showcasing design and cutting-edge ideas, making it the ideal environment for housing Stua’s furniture. After all, the company values simplicity, timelessness and attention to detail above all else.

 

Stua’s furniture has a very fresh feel to it: it has a Scandinavian simplicity with a hint of the Mediterranean about it. Good examples of this are the Gas chair (of 2000), Onda stool (2006) and Globus chair (1994) – all star pieces in the new Madrid showroom.

 

Stua’s Madrid shop aims to be a mecca for architects, interior designers and members of the general public and a place for them to familarise themselves with the company’s furniture collections. Another aim is to bring together furniture and art as the shop will also hold temporary art exhibitions.

 

Stua also has a showroom in Bilbao.
