Le Klint

One of the most well knows and instantly recognisable lighting manufacturers in Scandinavia is Le Klint from Odense in Denmark, founded by the Klint family in 1943. 

Tage Klint, son of P.V. Jensen Klint, was the creative entrepreneur who chose to turn the family’s artistically folded lamp shades into a regular business. He also added a crucial detail to the original shades; the unique “collar” at the top of the lamp, designed to fix the shade to the metal stand. Furthermore, he designed a number of lamps which have all been a part of LE Le Klint’s assortment. In 1953 his son, Jan Klint, took over the company. As a business man, he was years ahead of his time. In order to secure his employees, he created a fund which has since 1972 been in charge of the company Le Klint. In addition, the fund supports former employees, designers and architects.
