Iconic “Djinn” settee designed by Olivier Mourgue for Airborne, France 1965.
The Djinn series became Spage Age design icons from the moment Stanley Kubrick introduced it in his movie ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, where the settees and chairs were featured in the interior of a futuristic Hilton hotel. This settee is fully renovated and covered with new foam and upholstered with a warm yellow fabric made of 100% wool. A color of yellow that was also used by the French manufacturer Airborne for the original series. Matching pair of lounge chairs available in the same color. Just stunning in combination with the French Zigzag shelving unit by Joelle Ferlande & Francois Monnet from 1970. In 1968, the Djinn series was rewarded with the 1st International Design Award from the Institute of Interiors Designers.
