Onsen
A contemporary classic
“The ONSEN collection is very simple and blends well with diverse architectural spaces. We developed it with the intention of transmitting calm, like Japanese architecture. We are inspired by rationality, by geometry and elemental shapes that do not need heavy ornamentation.”
Francesco Meda & David Quincoces
ONSEN, designed by Francesco Meda and David Quincoces, is a proposal that dialogues with nature and architecture, standing out for its experimentation with outdoor materials of contrasting properties that maintain their natural elegance, reminiscent of artisanal tanning. It is an outdoor furniture collection of calm and elegant beauty, featuring elements crafted from stainless steel, leather, and outdoor and indoor fabrics. Together, they create a balanced combination where the hardness of steel coexists with the warmth of leather and a selection of textiles in natural tones.

Francesco Meda (Milan, 1984) graduated in 2006 from the European Institute of Design in Milan. The designer gained experience in London working in Sebastian Bergne’s studio and later Ross Lovegrove’s.
In 2008 he returned to Milan and collaborated with his father Alberto Meda on brands such as Kartell and Caimi Brevetti. Meda has promoted her own art and design projects in other international firms and prestigious galleries such as Nilufar Gallery and Schoeni Art Gallery in Hong Kong. Among the applauded designs of him, stand out the bridge lamps and the 3D printed jewels that are part of the collection of the Triennale Design Museum in Milan.
Francesco Meda also has several awards. The last one was the 2019 Wallpaper Design Awards with the Woody chair for Molteni & C.
David Quincoces, born in Madrid, has lived in Milan since 2005, where he arrived to study a master’s degree in interior design at the Politecnico di Milano. Having worked with Piero Lissoni, he founded his own studio, Quincoces-Dragó, more than ten years ago.
It is currently one of the most sought-after architecture firms in Milan and works both in collaboration with design companies and in interior architecture projects.
