Wink Armchair

The Wink Armchair by Cassina, designed in 1980 by Toshiyuki Kita, is a playful yet highly functional piece that blurs the line between furniture and character, embodying the spirit of postmodern design through its bold form and transformable structure; composed of a padded polyurethane body with a metal frame, it features adjustable elements including foldable “ears” that act as armrests or headrests and a reclining back that allows multiple seating positions, turning the chair into a lounge, a chaise, or even a relaxed napping spot, while its vibrant upholstery and expressive silhouette give it an almost anthropomorphic presence, making it as much a sculptural statement as a comfortable seat, perfectly capturing the experimental, joyful energy of late 20th-century design.
