Le Klint: Danish Design Shaped by Light
Le Klint is a renowned Danish design brand founded in 1943 by Tage Klint. The brand’s origins trace back to the early 1900s when architect and engineer P.V. Jensen-Klint designed paper-folded shades for gas lamps. The cross-pleating technique developed by Jensen-Klint, inspired by Japanese origami, became the foundation for the elegant lamp shades that have become Le Klint’s signature today.
Tage Klint, who officially founded Le Klint in 1943, transformed his father’s pioneering design legacy into a brand.
Since its founding, Le Klint has stood out as a brand focused on the aesthetic and functional use of light through its unique designs. The brand’s founders and all the designers it has collaborated with have created an extensive and impressive collection, deeply understanding the effects that light creates in spaces.
Le Klint gained fame especially for its handmade pleated lamp shades and quickly became an icon in the lighting world. This success was officially recognized in 2003 when the brand was awarded the title of official supplier to the Danish Royal Palace.
Masterfully blending tradition and modernity, Le Klint continues to innovate today by collaborating with contemporary designers such as Aurélien Barbry and Markus Johansson. These designs strongly reflect the brand’s DNA and design philosophy, meeting the aesthetic expectations of today.
Le Klint lighting products bring warmth, an authentic touch, and timeless elegance to your living spaces. From pendant lights to table lamps, floor lamps to wall lighting, it’s easy to find a Le Klint design that suits every need and taste.
