Item description

Djinn two-seater sofa designed by Olivier Mourgue in 1965 for Airborne. Metal frame covered with foam and upholstered in yellow Kvadrat fabric. The feet are fitted with steel rails.

This sofa is a 20th century design icon made famous by Stanley Kubrick in "2001, A Space Odyssey". The undulating shapes of the sofa create harmony and softness to its seating without neglecting absolute comfort. Upholstered. Wear consistent with age and use. New fabric refurbished.
