"Danish design and craftsmanship since 1943" Slogan from Le Klint

Le Klint - Precise craftsmanship meets Scandinavian design
Le Klint was founded in 1943, but the foundation stone was laid at the beginning of the 20th century. Back then, the engineer and architect Jensen-Klint folded his first pleated lampshade for a paraffin lamp. In the years that followed, the Klint family set about refining the shade. It was Tage Klint who eventually founded a company based on the craft of pleating. Before that, he added a crucial detail to the lampshade: the handle collar.
Today, Le Klint is still famous for its unique folding technique for paper and plastic shades, which has been continuously developed to improve dimensional stability. The headquarters and factory of the manufacturer, which was appointed Purveyor to the Royal Court in 2003, are still located in Odense on the Danish island of Funen. This is where classic and modern lights are created, which are always characterised by a Nordic flair. The restrained colours and the use of warm, cosy materials such as wood contribute to this. In addition, there are often sophisticated elements such as the practical pull-out mechanism on the Sax family.
Carronade - striking design with a contrasting mix of materials
Carronade is inspired by ship cannons from the 17th and 18th centuries. However, its contemporary design is also reminiscent of stage spotlights. The mix of materials is particularly exciting, with Swedish designer Markus Johansson deliberately playing with contrasts.
The metal luminaire body can be flexibly swivelled on almost all models. This allows you to precisely adjust your direct zone or reading light. The walnut or oak details lend the lamp from Le Klint a natural Nordic charm. Carronade is available as a pendant, table and floor lamp as well as a functional 2-in-1 object that you can use for the table or the wall.
Lamella - charming pleated luminaire for harmonious room lighting
With its characteristic pleated structure, Lamella is an exemplary model from Le Klint. The pleated plastic light is the result of skilful craftsmanship and is characterised by its organic design in a bulbous or oval shape. The light object by Takagi & Homstvedt is named after the delicate folds on the underside of a mushroom head - the lamellae.
In order to stay true to the natural shape, Le Klint reintroduced the time-honoured artisanal manufacturing technique PLICA for curved pleated blinds into its production facility. Lamella emits its soft, glare-free light evenly in all directions. This makes the pendant, wall and ceiling lights ideal for harmonious room lighting.
