French designer Olivier Mourgue became an icon of 1960s modernism with his futuristic and organically shaped furniture. His Djinn chairs, immortalized in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, embody the optimism, sensuality, and space-age aesthetics of the era. Mourgue’s work explores flexibility, comfort, and playful form, often using innovative materials like tubular steel and foam. Beyond his furniture, he has engaged in landscape design and sculpture, continuing to explore how form interacts with human movement and the environment.
