About The Wink Collection 의자
윙크 컬렉션은 다이닝 체어, 라운지 체어, 바 체어를 아우르는 시팅 제품군입니다. 각 제품은 눈 모양을 연상시키는 볼록한 타원형 등받이를 특징으로 하며, 가늘고 견고한 원목 다리가 이를 지탱합니다. 형태는 CNC 기술과 전통 목공 기술을 결합하여 제작됩니다. 양극 산화 처리된 주조 금속 부품이 등받이와 프레임을 연결하여 강도를 더하는 동시에 구조를 가볍고 개방적으로 유지합니다. 등받이는 원목 또는 폼 패딩을 덧댄 업홀스터리 마감으로 제공되며, 지속 가능하게 조달된 목재도 선택할 수 있습니다. 곡선형 등받이 형태는 장시간 앉아서 나누는 대화를 편안하게 지지합니다.

- 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.
