Established in 1943, Le Klint is a distinguished ambassador for Danish lighting design and craftsmanship. Back in 1900, architect and engineer Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint folded a lampshade using a cross-pleating technique inspired by origami to help diffuse the sharp light of the flame and direct the light of a stoneware petroleum lamp.
Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint is the architect behind Grundtvig’s Church in Copenhagen, known for its geometric shapes, clean lines, and classic gothic architecture. After coming up with the cross-pleating technique, folding paper into lampshades using the cross-pleating technique became a Klint family hobby, refining the design over time. In 1943, Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint’s son Tage Klint founded the Le Klint company, opening a shop in Copenhagen with early designs, the first being the Model 1 lampshade, which featured a grip-collar designed by Tage that allowed the shade to attach to a frame. Other designs included those made by Peder’s second son, architect Kaare Klint. Known as the father of Danish Modern Design, Kaare Klint designed several iconic lamps for Le Klint, including the Model 101, also known as the Lantern, which featured paper folded into a three-dimensional ball with a complex yet striking structure
