Olivier Mourgue (b. 1939) is a French artist and industrial designer best known for his ‘Djinn’ series with Airborne International.
Mourgue took inspiration from djinn, Arabian genies that could adopt any form – human or animal – to produce a fluid, almost nebulous form. Made famous by Stanley Kubrick’s film ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, the Djinn sofa is arguably one of Olivier Mourgue’s most coveted designs.
In good vintage condition. Reupholstered in an ivory wool bouclé.
