The Cassina Wink chaise longue, designed by Toshiyuki Kita in 1980, is an iconic piece of furniture that explores the boundaries between Eastern and Western design traditions. This particular example stands out due to its playful, anthropomorphic silhouette and the ability to adapt the shape to the user's needs. The chair is upholstered in a deep black fabric, likely a high-quality cotton or wool blend, which offers a soft and inviting texture. The construction consists of a steel frame with polyurethane foam, ensuring both durability and comfort. The distinctive 'ears' or headrests can be tilted independently of each other, and the footrest can be folded out to transform the chair from an armchair into a chaise longue. The black color gives the design a timeless and versatile appearance. The piece of furniture is in good condition, retaining its structural integrity and functionality. The upholstery shows characteristic signs of use consistent with its age, contributing to the object's authentic vintage appearance. This Cassina Wink fits perfectly into a postmodern or eclectic interior, where it serves as a striking statement piece. The design lends itself perfectly to a relaxed reading nook or as a sculptural element in a spacious living room.
