AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful, very high‑quality and comfortable Jørgen Kastholm model JK730 for Kill International, a two‑seater sofa in dark brown leather and brushed flat steel, Germany, late 1960s.
This unique and timeless design features a continuously chrome-plated frame with runners and the thick, dark brown, richly patinated leather in impeccable condition.
Because of the slightly reclining seating position and the curved armrests, the chair is incredibly comfortable.
The JK 730 series is especially exciting 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 beautifully shows the transition from classic Danish wooden design to an international architectural language of form in steel and leather. As a result, it is less well known among collectors, yet precisely for that reason often particularly valued.

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.
