Space Age Vintage Djinn Armchair and Footstool, designed in 1965 by French designer Olivier Mourgue for Airborne. Armchair Dimensions Width 70 cm Depth 70.5 cm Height 70 cm Seat Height 36.5 cm Footstool Dimensions Width 71 cm Depth 57 cm Height 39.5 cm Iconic Space Age design from the 1960s: The Djinn armchair and matching footstool, designed in 1965 by French designer Olivier Mourgue for Airborne, is one of the most significant pieces of seating furniture from the futuristic design era. The organically curved, low-slung form perfectly embodies the visionary spirit of the Space Age movement. The Djinn armchair forgoes traditional legs, resting instead on an elegantly curved tubular steel frame completely encased in upholstery. This creates the characteristic, flowing silhouette, which appears both sculptural and comfortable. The model became famous, not least through its appearance in Stanley Kubrick's cult film 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which the futuristic lounge scene featuring the Djinn chairs is shown. Today, the design is considered a milestone of the 20th century and a coveted collector's item for lovers of space age and mid-century design. The armchair offered here comes with the matching footstool, which echoes the chair's dynamic lines and offers optimal comfort. Together, they form an impressive lounge combination with high recognition value. An exceptional design object with a strong presence – ideal for stylish living spaces, design collections, or as an iconic statement piece in modern interiors. Condition report: Upholstery renewed by a specialist workshop, original fabric in very good condition, clean, with minor signs of age. Additional information: Production date unknown.
