Niet alleen is de Wink een technisch hoogstandje, het heeft ook aanzienlijke culturele impact gehad. Het ontwerp is opgenomen in de permanente collecties van gerenommeerde musea zoals het Museum of Modern Art in New York en het Centre Georges Pompidou in Parijs. De stoel won in 1981 de Kitaro Kunii Industrial Design Award.
Japanese design
The Wink, designed by Japanese designer Toshiyuki Kita, was introduced by the Italian brand Cassina in 1980.
The design was inspired by the Japanese custom of sitting close to the ground. It literally draws you toward the floor surface, offering a sense of tranquility and comfort. In the Wink, Toshiyuki Kita combines aesthetics and functionality without taking himself too seriously, but with a playful wink.
