European
Bauhaus iniciative
- “Stüa is a nomadic collective that brings people together to activate spaces through building modular, transportable structures, centered around a communal oven. Our work invites communities to join a hands-on, co-creative process, using diverse construction techniques to shape shared spaces.
We see the act of making bread—mixing water and flour into a living dough—as a metaphor for imagining and shaping our collective future. As we knead, we reflect on what we want our communities to be, and how we can break down rigid structures to create more inclusive, caring environments for everyone.
Our work builds a network of connection between individuals, communities, and nature—like a mycelial web of shared stories and desires. Together, we create an evolving map of possibilities for the future.

2. Who we are
STÜA is a collective of four designers and artists driven by a shared mission to catalyze collective transformation through sustainable design.
Rooted in a passion for innovation and sustainability, we bring our diverse artistic perspectives together to create something truly extraordinary. At the heart of our endeavors is the development of a rammed earth oven, a culinary masterpiece that not only reflects our commitment to timeless design but also serves as a catalyst for positive change.
With a focus on community, culture, and the transformative power of thoughtful design, STÜA is poised to redefine the intersection of art, sustainability, and culinary excellence.
