Therefore only the very special ones and those awarded in Germany are highlighted: "IF Gute Industrieform Award" in 1969, 1972, 1974, 1986, 1992, 1995, 1996 and 1998 - "Werkbund Award" in 1979 and 1982 - "Erste Bundespreis GUTE FORM" in 1969, 1985 - 5 "Red dot Design Awards" in 1997 and 2006 - the "Porsche Design Award". Museums all over the world show his masterpieces in permanent exhibitions in Barcelona, Brazil, Florida, Japan, the Louvre in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in NY. You can also admire them in Germany, in Berlin (Kunstindustriemuseum), in Düsseldorf (Kunstmuseum), in Essen (Haus Industrieform), in Cologne (Museum für Angewandte Kunstgeschichte), in Stuttgart (Design Center) and of course also in Munich in the Bavarian State Painting Collection. However, a quite extraordinary tribute might be that his furniture is to see in 13 Hollywood films, including some blockbusters. What made Jørgen Kastholm so special, you could ask? The Danish furniture designer conceived pieces of furniture that match extraordinarily well in their charisma, form and function. During his training as a blacksmith after his apprenticeship, he met the greatest Danish designers of his era. During his studies in Copenhagen at the School of Interior Design e.g. Finn Juhl was his teacher, where he also met the carpenter Preben Fabricius. These two founded their own design studio together in 1961. At a furniture fair in Fredericia, furniture manufacturer Alfred Kill came across them and signed them. For 7 successful years the two designers worked together on the common guideline "Quality without compromise". Kill produced for them near Stuttgart and at the furniture fair in Cologne in 1966 they achieved a major international breakthrough with orders from 10 well-known furniture groups. The furniture of this creative phase has become classics, they are unmistakable and some are still produced today. Jørgen Kastholm went his own successful way in the 70s and e.g. became professor for design at the "Bergische Universität" in Wuppertal (1975 to 1996). Born in 1931 in Roskilde, Kastholm lived on Mallorca for several years until he returned to Denmark in June 2007 to die there.
