Stua’s Laclasica chair in the Nieuwe Kerk church in Delft (Netherlands)

Laclasica chairs by contemporary furniture maker Stua have been used to furnish the Nieuwe Kerk church in Delft which has recently been renovated. Van Hoogevest architects were in charge of the restoration of this Gothic church built in 1496. The Dutch architecture studio has achieved a perfect symbiosis, combining the church’s unique architecture with Laclasica chairs for a timeless effect.

Laclasica was created by Jesús Gasca in 2010, and can be stacked up to a height of four chairs. Made from moulded ash, solid wood and aluminium, this undulating piece is an extension of the curves of the human body, which it mimics. A throwback to the forms of old-style wooden chairs, Laclasica redefines tradition with a contemporary simplicity, making it ideal for both historic buildings and more state-of-the-art facilities.

Stua was founded in 1983 by Jesús Gasca to create and distribute contemporary furniture around the world. Its creations fit in easily in both residential settings and interior design projects, offering an extraordinary degree of aesthetics and technical detail. The simplicity and timelessness of their pieces, created in partnership with designer Jon Gasca, have led to their use in spaces across the globe
