Djinn Chair

About the Design

The Djinn chair appeared so futuristic when it debuted in 1964 that red versions were used as space station seating in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Created by French designer Olivier Mourgue (b. 1939), the low-slung lounge chair — named for the shapeshifting djinn, or spirits, that appear in the Koran — has an undulating seat that appears as if it were folded from a single piece of material. The illusion is an effect of its assembly, which sees curved tubular steel covered with urethane foam and jersey fabric. Despite its imposing presence, the chair is lightweight. 

“The good object is very movable and displaceable; inventions and creations are light,” Mourgue wrote in an essay for the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s 1983 exhibition “Design Since 1945.” “It was in this spirit that I constructed my ‘Djinn’ seats.”

Not long after the Djinn chair made its debut, most designers would use plastic instead of metal frames to build similarly flowing forms; Mourgue in the 1960s was pushing the structural limits of available materials. Released by the French manufacturer Airborne International, the chair was part of a Djinn series that included an equally sculptural chaise longue and footstool.

The chairs came in bold variations such as red, yellow, blue and green, with the idea that the jersey could be zipped off and changed seasonally or to meet shifting tastes. Because the material and foam tend to deteriorate over time, vintage versions are likely to require restoration. Mourgue said in 1965 that “things should have a short life,” yet in more than 50 years since its debut, his Djinn chair remains a popular vision of a space-age future.

Located in Milano, IT
Vintage Djinn two-seater sofa designed by Olivier Mourgue in 1965 for Airborne. Metal frame lined with foam and covered in yellow Kvadrat publisher's fabric. The feet have steel Skates. The Djinn sofa whose shape was inspired by the genies of Arabian culture that can adopt any form, human or animal, is a masterpiece of Space Age design. This sofa is an icon of 20th century design made famous by Stanley Kubrick in 2001, A Space Odyssey. This sofa presents sinuous and typical Space Age shapes. The sofa through its wavy perhaps creates harmony and softness to its seat without neglecting the absolute comfort. Olivier Mourgue. Born in Paris in 1939, Mourgue, starting from the '60s became known for his series of furniture and household objects with a playful and pop look, typical of those years: such as the lamp Flower designed for Disderot in 1967 and the armchair of the Montreal series...

This modular lightly curved sectional sofa attributed to Paul Laszlo features three sections that can be arranged in several different ways, reupholstered in a gorgeous pink and plum colored ikat fabric which is in excellent like-new condition, only lightly used in a showroom setting and ready to be placed in a high-end luxury interior. What makes this sofa so great? Well - there are many, first the shape and silhouette is just incredible - just look at the side profile photos in this listing. Whether you put all 3 pieces together to form one long sofa monumental enough to sit 4 to 5 people or you can separate the sections - you can have a spacious loveseat large enough to sit 3 people and separate wide lounge chair big enough to sit 2 people or place all three sections separately across the room, the slightly curved shape with channel tufted mid and upper back sections sitting atop thin wood feet look so incredible. The large oversized padded arm wrests are comfortable and look great. The deep seated and plush seat cushions allow you to sit back and watch TV in comfort or take a long cozy nap. And last but not least - the fabric is just so special... the pink, plum and white ikat fabric is so on-trend for high end interior design.
