Description
Rare pair of original 'Joker' lounge chairs by Olivier Mourgue for Airborne.

Designed in the early 1970s, and manufactured in France by Airborne International, the groovy 'Joker' lounge chair was the work Olivier Mourgue, who along with Pierre Paulin was responsible for some of the most space-age designs to come out of post-war Europe (Mourgue's futuristic 'Djinn' series was chosen by Stanley Kubrick for the space station in "2001: A Space Odyssey".)
