Le Klint

Le Klint is a lighting manufacturer based in Denmark, today the brand mix contemporary styles from up-and-coming designers, with their traditional styles and methods. The story of Le Klint dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, when a hand-pleated lamp shade was folded to fit a paraffin lamp both designed by architect and master of engineering P.V. Jensen-Klint. A team of friends and family members worked hard to refine this new shade and in return, received one as a gift of gratitude for their time. 1943 was the year the Klint family handicraft became a real business led by Tage Klint.

Le Klint utilises locally sourced materials from Italy, with the exception of their glass and cables, and their plastic foil shades are 100% recyclable. These shades can be sent back to Le Klint where they are broken down and used for drain pipes. Le Klint also now offers a repair service, and have confirmed that each individual part of their lights can be replaced.
