The legendary pop star Michael Jackson passed away last year in June. Now after 12 months of his death his custom made traditional and contemporary furniture will be on sale in an auction on his death anniversary. We all know how he lived and how he wanted to live. He always lived like a king at his residence.
Michael bought a luxurious £14 million ($21 millions) UK residence which he never saw now it will go for auction in Las Vegas at a Julien’s Auction sale on 25 June 2010. All furniture from sofas, chairs and desks will go under auction on this day which will all be taken from the house he bought in UK. The furniture he bought for the house was never completed as they were waiting to be shipped to UK when Michael passed away last year.
The new furniture for the UK residence was build by Colombostile in Milan. The items were all hand picked and custom made chairs, sofas, desks and tables. For 22 pieces of furniture Michael paid them over £466,600 ($700,000). MJ always spent huge and this was another huge spending for his new property in the UK from him. Michael had planned to rent the UK residence after all the furniture was sorted but he never had the chance to see the furniture.
From the auction the Colombostile bosses are expecting £100,000 from the nine seat sofa designed by Giovanni Maria Malerba da Busca, which was also handmade. This sofa was very expensive and cost Jackson £143,300. The bosses have also said the profit will be paid to the Jackson family after previously coming to an arrangement with Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine.
I have a massive passion for furniture. I have designed and built many furniture in the past and now I am writing about it. I have written several articles on furniture and if you want to read more on contemporary cafe furniture and bar furniture then read my other posts.
