AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful, very high-end and comfortable Jørgen Kastholm model JK730 for Kill International three-seater sofa in dark brown leather and brushed flat steel, Germany late 1960s.

This unique and timeless design with the continuously chromed frame with runners and the thick, dark brown leather in impeccable condition. The slightly inclined seating position and the curved armrests make the chair incredibly comfortable.

The JK 730 series is particularly interesting because it is not as frequently seen as the famous FK 6725 Tulip Chair or the Grasshopper Chaise. It comes from Kastholm’s mature phase and nicely demonstrates the transition from classical Danish wooden design to an international, architectural language of form in steel and leather. As a result, it is less well known among collectors, but often especially valued for that reason.

Seller's Story

Since we can remember we felt attracted to beauty and exceptional things. Aesthetic has always been more than something superficial for us. It was something magic going much deeper than the surface, creating positive feelings and energies. Harmonies, sacred proportions, colors and materials combined with time, create their very special energies and are mostly things that hardly can be described but always can be felt. To define beauty would be far to philosophical, but we think, if something touches you by the way it looks and gives you good energy at the same time, then it would define our personal definition of beauty. And if beauty is something that has no other purpose than making you feel good just by the way it looks, then beauty is something we surely do not want to miss in our lives. We thank existence for giving us all those unique materials and designs and all the talented designers and craftsmen for bringing their visions and abilities to life and sharing it, to bring us purpose combined with joy. We are glad to have the platform Catawiki where we can share our passion for extraordinary and beautiful things with like-minded people. Bülent Usta & Sarah-Larissa Kolmeder
