Jörgen Kastholm was born in 1931 in Denmark. He initially trained and worked as an ornamental ironworker. He eventually decided to become an Architect and Interior Designer,and attended the University of Fredensberg in Copenhagen until qualifying in 1958.

Some years later he set up a design practice in partnership with Preben Fabricius. During the period 1960 and onwards, they designed many furniture classics for Danish and German manufacturers, including models for Walter Knoll in the USA.

Jorgen Hastholm individually won many international design awards.

In 1976 he was appointed Professor of the School of Furniture Design and Product Development at the University of Wuppertal in Dusseldof where he both lived and practiced as a Design Consultant.

During this period he formed a close association with Kusch and Company, primarily chair manufacturers in Germany. He designed numerous chair programmes which achieved widespread success and recognition for Kusch and for Kastholm

Throughout the eighties, in order to complement their desk ranges, Gordon Russell represented Kusch in the UK - this collaboration led to Kastholm being invited to design desk, tabling and storage programmes to be both exported to Europe, and sold throughout the UK.

Some years later Jorgan Kastholm, returned to Denmark where he died in 2007.
