The Masquespacio design studio led by Ana Milena Hernández Palacios and Christophe Penasse presents their Wink chair that they designed for Houtique and will be presented at Maison & Objet, Paris, this week.

A chair between surreal, suggestive and friendly (it seems that I looked at you that it is going to wink at you), has a very special structure made with a robust 20 mm curved iron tube bathed in 24 karat gold.

The chair, designed with three legs, has the seat and the backrest made with MDF board padded with foam and is upholstered with velvet. Fringes of the same color as the seat have been added to the backrest, depending on the model.
After the huge success of the Wink lamp designed for Houtique in 2018, now Masquespacio and Houtique present the Wink chair.
 
“A subtle, suggestive and delicate way of looking. A look with a lot of craftiness, an eye that can only focus on exquisite vibes while dancing to the rhythm of the music with its fringes. She can’t stop playing “I spy with my little eye”, and she sees everything from her eye.

But, what do you see? Depending on your imagination. With a neutral vision it will be a chair, turning on the psychedelic mode of your pupils it will become a dancing eye and with cosmic-extraterrestrial lenses you will see the eye converted into Saturn and dressed in a Charleston dress."

The Wink chair, a little wink that will make your day at Maison & Objet Paris, Today Signature Hall 6 - Stand M47.

Masquespacio, an award-winning creative consultancy created in 2010 by Ana Milena Hernández Palacios and Christophe Penasse. Combining the 2 disciplines of their founders, interior design and marketing, the Spanish design agency creates custom-made branding and interior projects through a unique approach that results in fresh and innovative concepts. 

Ana Milena Hernández Palacios (b. Bogotá, 1982) brings her background in interior design (trained at Valencia Barreira) to lead the creation of spaces with a strong emotional character and meticulous attention to detail. Her professional experience includes work in Spanish studios where she developed her own voice as a designer.

Christophe Penasse (b. Belgium in 1983) contrasts with Ana by contributing his marketing background: after studying marketing, he combined his studies with work at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, and later decided to move to Spain to co-found Masquespacio. At the studio, she is responsible for management, communication, and commercial strategy, laying the groundwork for each project to be not only aesthetically pleasing but also effective as a brand.

Throughout its history, Masquespacio has received numerous accolades: the "Massimo Dutti New Values" award from Architectural Digest Spain (2016), the "Wave of the Future" award from Hospitality Design USA (2016), the title of "Interior Designers of the Year" from T Magazine (NYT) in 2019, and the "Young Talent of the Year" award from Elle Decoration International in 2020.

Furthermore, thanks to its strategic and emotional approach, the firm has expanded its reach internationally, developing projects in Germany, Norway, the United States, Portugal, France, Italy, and other countries, while maintaining a consistent media presence in publications specializing in design, fashion, and lifestyle.
