Wink Lounge
for Cassina
The Wink Lounge from Cassina is ergonomically correct and exquisitely versatile. Designed in 1980, Wink cleverly unfolds from a lounge chair into a chaise-longue. The back can be adjusted utilizing the sides’ handles, and the headrests flip, allowing multiple sitting positions.
Toshiyuki Kita explains, “sitting on Wink means sitting on the floor and, when you are seated there, according to oriental tradition, your spirit rises.”
