Strikingly unique and extremely customizable, the 111 Wink Chair for Cassina is an iconic statement piece that brings contemporary Japanese style into any interior. Its exceptional transformability and colour spectrum allow for the user to get creative. The headrest is divided into two parts, each with an independent reclining position, whilst the side knobs adjust the back, and by tilting the base forward, the armchair becomes a chaise longue. Available in a vast range of colourways and materials, the 111 Wink Chair is so customisable that each piece possesses a high degree of originality.
Toshiyuki Kita is known and admired far beyond his native shores, dividing his time between studios in Osaka and in Milan. An author, architect and designer, he is a leading figure in international design circles.
Kita has evolved his own unique style with a distinctively organic feel to it. Not surprisingly, then, he prefers to work in natural materials. He is constantly reinterpreting the lesson of Japanese art and crafts - that of giving a soul to objects and their design.
