“Part of the success of ONSEN is that it has been the fruit of a long research process that has taken us into unexplored terrain and has led to innovations in construction techniques and material selection.”
Francesco Meda & David Quincoces
Sober, with refined lines and without superfluous ornaments: this is ONSEN, the outdoor furniture collection designed by Francesco Meda and David Quincoces for GANDIABLASCO. ONSEN is a collection that pays special attention to materials: based on a criterion of naturalness, steel, leather-effect straps, and textiles are worked unpretentiously, with minimal intervention, presenting themselves as they are.
This is a versatile and timeless collection that works in all types of spaces, indoor or outdoor, contemporary or classic.
The ONSEN club chair is a designer armchair with a manually welded tubular stainless steel frame and leather-look webbing on the arms, backrest, and seat. The properties of these vinyl straps -resistant to fungi, stains, and fire retardant- complement the finishes for outdoor use. The piping that decorates its cushions provides identity and exclusivity.
The ONSEN club chair is an exclusive design by Francesco Meda & David Quincoces for GANDIABLASCO.
