LE KLINT Comet designer hanging light 20 cm
Comet designer LED hanging light made of white plastic film This hanging light is a beautiful design piece, which has been stylishly hand-pleated and ensures an atmospheric lighting and distinctive style thanks to its unique appearance. Since they are made by hand, every product from the Danish lighting manufacturer Le Klint is unique, and must be handled carefully to ensure that the light gives you a long-lasting pleasure and not does get damaged. Comet is a design by architect Poul Christiansen, who was responsible for further developing Le Klint’s famous folding technique in the 1970s and 1980s. Whereas until then only straight-lined folds had been used, Christiansen found out that folds in mathematical curves could give the lights beautiful round shapes. Le Klint’s designer lights have a long tradition. The first folded lampshades, which are largely seen as a trademark of the company to this day, were already being produced by the well-known family of architects at the beginning of the 20th century, until the company officially started in 1943 and the first shop was opened in Copenhagen, which still exists at the same address today. Over the course of the next few decades, a number of other models with character and recognition value were developed in cooperation with other architects and designers, but the classics from the 1940s are still among the lighting manufacturer’s best-selling models. The manufacturer sees itself as a modern manufacturing company with strong connections to traditional craftsmanship since the lampshades are still hand-folded at the production plant in Denmark, because despite a great deal of effort, it has not been possible to develop a machine that can meet the quality requirements of the characteristic transverse-folding technique.
