About The Wink Collection チェア
Wink Collection（ウィンク コレクション）は、ダイニングチェア、ラウンジチェア、バーチェアを含むシーティングシリーズです。各作品には、目の形を思わせる凸型の楕円形バックレストが備わり、細身の無垢材の脚によって支えられています。フォルムはCNC技術と伝統的な木工技術を組み合わせて成形されています。アルマイト処理を施した鋳造金属パーツがバックレストとフレームを接合し、構造を軽やかで開放的に保ちながら強度を高めています。バックレストは無垢材仕様、またはフォーム材を裏打ちした張地仕様から選択でき、持続可能な方法で調達された木材にも対応します。緩やかに湾曲した背もたれの形状は、長時間座って会話を楽しむ姿勢を快適に支えます。

- Production Technology
- JMS continues to master wood materials by using CNC technology combined with traditional wood working skills. This melding of machine and man create new eye popping designs with a contemporary twist leading to a signature style. The slender massive wooden legs of Wink and the convex elliptical eye shaped backrest is a result of This play of technology and tradition. The backrest can be upholstered with foam backing to enhance comfort or in massive wood.
Available in oak, birch or walnut woods. - Design Challenge
- To achieve the desired transparency and lightness so that the inherent properties of each material can be enhanced, each element needed to be separately addressed but solved as one entity. Adding a cast metal part in manufacturing process, optimizes production by upholstering the back rest separately while adding strength to its connection to the wooden frame. These designed elements would prevent the heavy appearance of typical massive wooden chairs.
- Inspiration
- A wink, to tantalize. A visual cue to flirt and attract. An elliptical eye shaped wooden back rest upon finely shaped feminine legs. An embodiment of feminine charms: glimmer, elegance, and strength. The anodized metal casting part adds shine and strength to the seat back, legs are thinly tapered to provide lift and lightness. Armrest detailing of an upper and lower parts provide the embrace.
Sustainably sourced Beech or Ash woods are available for the desired warmth and color. - Project Duration
- Wink collection is manufactured in Rebordosa, Portugal. The project is finished and introduced to the market in 2021.
- Operation Flow
- The back is ergonomically curved and shaped to enable guests to nourish long conversations, diners to linger over multiple course dinners, or professionals cherishing cocktails.
