The Djinn chair is an important design of the "Modernist" style, created by French designer Olivier Mourgue.[1][2] Originally called the "Low fireside chair",[2] it is also commonly referred to as the "2001" chair, because of its prominent appearance in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. HistoryThe Djinn chair is one element of a series of Djinn furniture designed by noted French designer Olivier Mourgue.[1][2] In 1964 the first piece of the series, a chaise longue, was introduced by Airborne in Merignac Cedex, France.[2] The rest of the series was released in 1965, and includes the iconic "Low fireside chair", a two seat sofa, and a foot stool.[2] The set remained in production until 1976.[2] The name "Djinn" refers to an Islamic spirit capable of changing shape.[1] The design's low profile was an attempt to emulate the informal lifestyle of the time.[1] The set was introduced during a time when growing interest in Eastern mysticism was influencing Western decorative arts.[1] SurvivorsThe stretch jersey covering used for the Djinn series did not wear well.[3] Worse yet, the polyether foam used in construction of Djinn chairs has a tendency to degrade over time, causing the pieces to become unusable.[3] "Things should have a short life," Mr. Mourgue said in 1965, when he was 26.[3] Djinn chairs were sold worldwide, and in Europe they have become valuable designer collectibles.[3] Values in Europe remain varied depending on condition, with professionally restored chairs selling for $1,000 or more, and sofas for more than $1,800.{{citation needed|date=September 2011}} In the United States the chairs remain largely forgotten,[3] and little effort at restoration has occurred. A 1964-1965 green Djinn Chaise Longue is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. It was donated by George Tanier, Inc. in 1966 References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book | last = Fiell | first = Charlotte | authorlink = Charlotte Fiell | title = 1,000 Chairs (Taschen 25) | publisher = Taschen | year = 2005 | location = | isbn = 978-3-8228-4103-7}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book | last = Habegger | first = Jerryll | authorlink = Jerryll Habegger | title = Sourcebook of Modern Furniture (Third Edition) | publisher = W.W.
