The two-seater version: the seat runs in one piece over 123 cm, the shield-shaped back stays separate, and nothing of the steel frame or the webbing shows beneath the foam.
Olivier Mourgue conceived the Djinn series in 1964-1965 for Airborne, looking for low, light seats that could be moved with one hand. Stanley Kubrick furnished the orbital station of 2001: A Space Odyssey with them: there, the Djinns play the role of the seat of the future. The armchair from the series has entered the collections of the Centre Pompidou.
Fully reupholstered in Kvadrat cotton velvet.
Two armchairs from the same series are available separately.
