Olivier Mourgue for Airborne: a Djinn sofa

Olivier Mourgue Djinn sofa for Airborne
Orange/brown upholstery fabric.
120cm wide x 60cm deep, seat height 30cm high (for re-upholstering)

Acquired by the vendor's parents in the 1960s from a London gallery.

The Djinn seating range was the first furniture to use urethane foam upholstery over tubular steel frames. The model was so futuristic in its appearance that it was used by Stanley Kubrick in his 1968 motion picture 2001: A Space Odyssey
