About The Wink Collection 椅子
Wink系列係一系列座椅產品,包括餐椅、休閒椅同吧椅。每件作品都設有凸形橢圓靠背,形狀猶如眼睛,由纖幼嘅實木椅腳支撐。呢啲造型結合CNC數控技術同傳統木工工藝製作而成。陽極氧化鑄造金屬部件將靠背同椅架連接起來,喺增加強度嘅同時,保持結構輕盈通透。靠背有實木款同帶泡棉襯墊嘅軟包款可供選擇,亦提供可持續採購嘅木材選項。彎曲嘅靠背造型有助支撐長時間嘅坐姿交談。

- 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.
