This era of French design was marked by a push for both innovation and practical elegance, with designers like Mourgue leading the way. The focus was on marrying form and function while experimenting with new materials and ideas, which allowed French designers to create pieces that were both artistic and utilitarian, reflecting the dynamic spirit of the period.

This early example produced by Airborne International in France, is a testament to Morgue’s playful aesthetic. Crafted for the whimsical at heart, the chair's anthropomorphic form invites interaction and creativity, embodying Mourgue's belief that people invent while playing.

Originally produced by Airborne, the Bouloum has continued to charm collectors, remaining in production through Arconas since 1972, when they acquired Airborne.
