Djinn Armchair & Ottoman Attributed to Olivier Mourgue for Airborne, 1960s
By Olivier Mourgue
Located in ŁÓDŹ, PL
A rare Olivier Mourgue “Djinn” armchair & ottoman upholstered in new premium fabric from Belgium, wool blend, 1960s. A highly in demand, and hard-to-find Olivier Mourgue “Djinn” armchair & ottoman, newly reupholstered in bouclé fabric, produced by a recognizable Belgium fabric manufacturer.

About the Designer: Olivier Mourgue (French, born 1939) is a French artist and Industrial designer. Best known for his design of the Djinn line of furniture, Mourgue’s aesthetic is characterized by brightly colored jersey fabric stretched over structural steel frames that are filled with polyether foam, creating a unified, futuristic, alien-like modular form. Born in Paris, France in 1939, he began his career with an innovative design for a chaise lounge in 1964, after which he expanded his original furniture line to include loveseats, stools, and anthropomorphic chairs. Despite also producing paintings and drawings, his career was ultimately dedicated to Industrial Design, and provided a quintessential aesthetic of 1960s Modernist furniture...
