The Djinn armchair, designed by Olivier Mourgue (born 1939) for Airborne in 1964-1065, is one of those very few quintessential and emblematic early space age designs which - much like the character from the 2001 a Space Odissey movie where they were notoriously featured - evaded space and time to, at first glance, catch the eye and the heart of the beholder, no matter the context nor the timeframe. A design icon of its own, a climax of the 1960s french seat...

About the Designer: Olivier Mourgue (French, born 1939) is a French artist and Industrial designer.
