Jorgen Kastholm JK720 lounge chairs Kill International 1970

About the Item

Very rare lounge chairs model JK720 designed by Jorgen Kastholm and manufactured by Kill International in Germany in 1970. These chairs have an interesting looped shape sled structure made from solid matt chrome plated steel. The single-line seamlessly flows from the backrest to the seat and base strengthened by a horizontal metal bar for stability. The canvas backing sits between the frame with visible ropes passing through small metal holes adding to the design. The cushions are upholstered in luxurious leather and are super comfortable and to top it of the cushions are complemented by a separate headrest which is held with a leather belt. These chairs are the perfect choice for lounging all day at home. The chairs are in fantastic condition. Kindly note that the listed price is for the 2 chairs. The Danish furniture designer Jørgen Kastholm created furniture where Form, Function and Finish comes together beautifully. He produced a collection of furniture that is today an intrinsic part of Danish design DNA. Kastholm first trained as a blacksmith, and later went to study architecture at the School of Interior Design in Copenhagen under Finn Juhl. Here he met cabinetmaker Preben Fabricius. He graduated as an Architect in 1958. In 1961 Fabricius & Kastholm opened a design studio together in Denmark. They exhibited at the Furniture Fair in Fredericia where the German furniture manufacturer Alfred Kill noticed their work and offered them a contract with Kill International. In 1968 the pair went separate ways. Kastholm was appointed professor at Bergische University in Wuppertal where he taught design from 1975 to 1996.
