Product description
Beautiful Cubique chair in very good conditio.
Designed by Oliver Mourgue
Manufactured by Airborne France, 1968
Sculptural “Cubique” lounge chairs, designed by Olivier Mourgue and produced by Airborne, France, 1968.
The chairs feature a robust chromed tubular steel frame with distinctive cross-bracing at the back, enhancing their playful yet architectural character.
The organically shaped shell is newly upholstered in a natural beige aniline leather, offering both softness and excellent seating comfort.
Thanks to their flowing form, this chair invites relaxation while making a bold design statement.
Recently reupholstered, the pair is presented in very good condition.
Olivier Mourgue can be scaled amongst the important French designers of his era, together with Pierre Paulin, Rene Jean Caillette, Pascal Mourgue and many more. Airborne , launched in 1951 by Charles Bernard (1904-1994), Bernard was eager for Airborne to create original works with the new design talent. Airborne’s most innovative collaboration occurred when young designer Olivier Mourgue approached Bernard with his black leather Joker Easy Chair (1959). Bernard immediately liked it and agreed to produce it under his label. It was the beginning of a successful and long relationship that lasted over a decade and contributed to Airborne’s reputation taking of in France and abroad. Mourgue’s undulating Djinn Chair (1965) embodied the futuristic “Space Age” aesthetic of the 1960s and has taken its place in design history thanks to an appearance on the set of Stanley Kubrick’s 1967 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Following three years later, the Cubic chair (1968) was an immediate success. Sadly Airborne International ceased production under Bernard in 1974 and many of the lines, including the Cubique chair, are no longer manufactured.
