LE KLINT HISTORY

The story of Le Klint dates back to the beginning of the

20

th

Century when a hand pleated lampshade 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. The Klint family handicraft became a real business

in 1943, led by Tage Klint, who pioneered a new decisive detail

to the lampshades, in the shape of an elastic collar.

LE KLINT is known throughout most parts

of the world for its unique craftsmanship.
