HOT ! French \'Djinn\' Chaise Lounge by Olivier Mourgue for Airborne International, 1965

The \'Djinn\' chaise lounge, designed by Olivier Mourgue for Airborne International in 1965, is an icon of futuristic and Space Age design. Characterized by its fluid, low-slung silhouette, the Djinn chair features a tubular steel frame and is upholstered in its original ivory fabric.

This piece became widely recognized after being featured in Stanley Kubrick\'s 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, where it contributed to the film’s visionary, ultra-modern aesthetic. The name \"Djinn\" references supernatural beings in Middle Eastern mythology, emphasizing the chair’s floating, ethereal form. It is also part of the permanent collections at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

Oliver Mourgue (born 1939) is a French industrial designer and architect, renowned for his innovative, modern designs that seamlessly blend functionality with sculptural aesthetics. His work spans multiple disciplines, including furniture, lighting, interior design, and urban planning, though he is most celebrated for his significant contributions to the mid-20th century design movement.
