Frans Schrofer, inspired on the visual cue of feminine flirtation, designed a collection with a signature elliptically shaped backrest, that beckons attention from all angles. Light, elegant, transparent, JMS created the tapered frame, ovoid shape backrest, and seemingly floating armrests, by combining CNC technology with the skills of their master wood craftsmen. An anodized metal casting part secures the backrest to the frame while adding charm to the design. Customized to desire, various wood finishings and upholsteries are available. The Wink satisfies from dining to lounging to cocktails.
