LE KLINT today
We consider it our responsibility at Le Klint to inspir
e
and assist in making responsible choices. When i
t
comes to sustainability, we do not simply focus on
a
single product or material, we take the whole process
into consideration then strive to act as responsibly a
s
possible. Another important factor, is a lamp’s lifespan
after it has been sold. We want our lamps to hav
e
longevity and to be passed on to future generations
,
with the possibility of being, repaired if necessary
.
Sustainable desig
n
We do not follow fast trends but rather work to hit
trends that are both timeless in their function, materials,
colours and shapes. Often we are actually told that ou
r
lamps from the 40s, 50s and 60s still has a moder
n
expression, making them easy to remain hanging i
n
homes for many decades, where the next generation
also gets the opportunity to appreciate their beaut
y
due to the ingenuity of their classic and timeless design
.
Made in Odense
We are proud that we have maintained production
in Odense, since 1943 where the company began
.
We believe that both pleating and folding is very special
techniques which is why we have decided to preserv
e
handcrafting lamps and lampshades, way into th
e
unforeseeable future. At Le Klint, it takes about a yea
r
to learn the technique then two-three years to master
all models in our range. We stand by our decision that
Le Klint is a “Made in Odense” company, and we will
continue to be so
.
Quality and Material
s
In addition to producing designs with aesthetics i
n
mind, it is important to us that the design is made
of the best quality materials to last a lifetime. You
r
lamp can be serviced and repaired to last for the
enjoyment of another generation. We believe that
the longevity of a lamp, is an important part of the
concept of sustainability.
We only use good, solid and honest materials, ideally
sourced from local suppliers to reduce our carbo
n
footprint while supporting local producers. We contrac
t
and commit to subcontractors that are based on
a
mutual respect for quality and social responsibility an
d
we expect our collaborative partners to respect al
l
environmental conscious guidelines including the
handling of material waste and disposal, responsibly.
