ABOUT PRODUCTID 28030
The Wink armchair, designed by Toshiyuki Kita for Cassina in the 1980s, is a testament to the Italian school of experimental design. The construction features a robust steel frame, chrome-plated details, and soft, creamy white natural leather upholstery. Its flowing, organic lines form a sculptural, nearly monolithic silhouette—the headrest evokes stylized ears or wings, while the seat and armrests merge seamlessly. The low, wide base ensures stability, while small, black spherical feet and side adjustment knobs create a subtle contrast. A hallmark of the Wink is its versatility: with side adjustment controls, the chair smoothly transforms from an upright armchair into a chaise longue. Precise stitching, a smooth, subtly glossy leather finish, and distinctive contours highlight the high standard of craftsmanship. Condition: very good, with minimal signs of gentle use typical for authentic vintage furniture.
Wink tells the story of an era when Italian design boldly challenged the boundaries of function and form. It speaks in the language of the 1980s—when shape and material became statements of modernity—blending humor and relaxation. Its anthropomorphic, organic silhouette seems to wink at the viewer, conveying a sense of irony and freedom integral to postmodernism. The supple leather gently reflects light, accentuating the chair's sculptural presence and introducing a delicate warmth to minimalist spaces.
The Wink armchair can become the focal point in a living room styled with vintage, modernist, or eclectic influences. It may be paired with a geometric, glossy coffee table or a minimalist floor lamp to emphasize its futuristic origins. Soft, muted textiles and selected accents in chrome or glass complement the creamy leather
