Toshiyuki Kita’s Wink Lounge Chair (model 111.01) was designed in 1980 and is still manufactured by Cassina. Vaguely reminiscent of a car seat, it is adjustable in various planes, transforming between a chair and a chaise by flipping out the rear-facing base section. There are two headrests which can be articulated independently.

The Wink is a true original, but unlike many other radical chair concepts, is is also supremely comfortable – mainly because of the adjustability and well-thought-out ergonomics.

I want one…
