In June last year the king of pop Michael Jackson passed away, which came as a shock for all of us. Now after 12 months of his death his custom made traditional and contemporary furniture will be put forward for auction on his death anniversary. All of us know how he lived and how he wanted to live. He has always wanted to live in a castle like a king.

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. Furniture like chairs, desks and sofas for his new home will all be auctioned in Las Vegas. The furniture for the new house was not completed because the furniture were waiting to be shipped before the king of pop’s death.

Colombostile in Milan build the furniture for Michael. All of the furniture were hand picked like chairs, sofas, tables and desks and they were all custom made. Michael ordered 22 pieces of furniture which cost him $700,000 (£466,600). 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.

Michael bought a nine seat sofa from Colombostile and they are expecting the sofa to make about £100,000 from the auction. The sofa was designed and handmade by Giovanni Maria Malerba da Busca. 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 had a huge passion for furniture so I began 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.
