About the Item

Born in Rokside Denmark, Kastholm first trained as a smith but soon turned to furniture design. He attended the School for Interior Design in Copenhagen where he studied under Finn Juhl. It was while studying at the Design School that Kastholm met cabinetmaker Preben Fabricius who became his partner for a number of years. They had a common approach to furniture design, never wanting to compromise on quality. Speaking of their partnership, Kastholm commented: “We had the same basic approach, we both wanted to minimize. I had been to the United States and seen furniture by Eames and Mies van der Rohe and it inspired us. The simplest lasts longest. At school we had learnt that timelessness was an ideal.” In 1961, the pair set up a design studio in a Gentoffe cellar without any firm arrangements with manufacturers. In 1965, they exhibited at the furniture fair in Fredericia where the German furniture manufacturer Alfred Kill noticed their work. Kill had a reputation for high quality but initially Fabricius and Kastholm were not keen to design furniture for factory production. Only when Kill offered them DM 2,500 a month each, with no preconditions, did they agree to work for him. Their international breakthrough came at the Cologne Fair in 1966. Their minimalistic designs, both attractive and comfortable, were usually in steel and leather. The Tulip Chair FK 6725 for example has become famous as Meryl Streep’s office chair in the film The Devil wears Prada. The pieces of furniture they produced during their seven-year period of cooperation from 1961 to 1968 were so distinctive that many are still produced today. As a result of disagreements, the pair decided to terminate their cooperation in 1968. Kastholm was later appointed professor at Bergische Universität in Wuppertal near Dusseldorf where he taught design from 1975 to 1996. He also designed furniture at his office in Germany as well as in his house in the mountains on the island of Majorca. He returned to Denmark shortly before he died in June 2007. This T105 table series is a large round coffee table model designed by Preben Fabricius and Jorgen Kastholm, manufactured by Kill International, Germany, 1968. This monumental table has a solid brushed steel base existing in three parts connected in the middle. The top is made of white flint rolled marble and has a natural look because of it Matt looks, just as the design offered. This T105 coffee table is very rare to find. The table is in good condition consistent with age and use.

Located in Eindhoven, Noord Brabant

This glass and flat steel table is was designed by Preben Fabricius (1931-1984) and Jørgen Kastholm (1931-2007). Together they started a design studio, Fabricius & Kastholm in 1961. These two Danish designers focussed on creating timeless functional designs that were simple and had the aesthetic of minimalism. Fabricius and Kastholm at first were creating pieces with leather, glass, or steel; they found inspiration in the sturdiness of Scandinavian designs in the sixties. In 1969, the pair was awarded the German Gute Form prize for the famous FK 87 Grasshopper Chair and the FK armchairs.
