Those Djinn chairs from 2001: Space Odyssey

A France-based company called Airborne manufactured those modern-looing “Djinn” chairs featured in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. The designer was a dude named Olivier Mourgue.

A friend has two of those chairs and he wants to find out on what production run his were made (he has serial #s). He also wants some other info.

The problem is that Airborne is nowhere to be found online. I checked Google. I checked a France online white pages. Nada!

Does anyone know if this company is in business? And if so, what their contact info is? Thanks!

You might check with the Cooper-Hewitt museum, a branch of the Smithsonian.

It turns out that the company exists and can be found at http://www.Aribone.fr.
