QUON is the contract furniture brand of Otsu Co., Ltd. The company was founded in 1962 in Yao, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. It began as a small metalworking factory. Over six decades, it developed into a specialist for professional steel furniture. The QUON brand was launched to consolidate all products under a single unified identity. The company's headquarters, production facility and showroom are co-located in Yao. A second showroom is situated in Shinagawa, Tokyo.
The range covers seating and tables in steel for contract and hospitality contexts. Manufacturing is carried out with craftsmanship precision in the company's own metalworking facility. Prototypes can be developed and adjusted quickly in-house. QUON collaborates with Archirivolto Design Studio (Claudio Dondoli and Marco Pocci, founded 1989 in Tuscany). One outcome of this partnership is the armchair Athena. The most recent highlight is the stackable chair STILL: formed from just two bent steel tubes, it was presented at Milan Design Week 2025.
QUON is a viable option for planners who want to combine Japanese metalworking craftsmanship with an internationally oriented design standard. The brand is currently in international expansion — with its first appearances at Milan Design Week in 2025. Projects can be flexibly customised thanks to fully integrated in-house production.
