Tage Klint, son of P.V. Jensen Klint, was the creative entrepreneur who in 1943 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 Kliny ’s assortment.

An impressive list of competent and well-reputed designers and architects have designed Le Klinyshades and lamps throughout the years. There is no doubt that this is one of the explanations why Le Klint-lamps are considered “modern classics”.
