LE KLINT Krystal 161 hand pleated pendant light
Hand pleated – the designer hanging light 161 with LED bulb In 1969, the designers Hvidt & Mølgaard from Denmark designed the hanging light 161, and added it to the Le Klint product range under the Danish name Krystal. The diamond-shaped lampshade with a distinctly crystalline form is its most impressive feature. Like all Le Klint pleated lampshades, this lampshade was handmade in Odense on the Danish island of Funen, making each one unique. Hand-made, hand-pleated lampshades are still the hallmark of Le Klint, a lighting company founded in Copenhagen in 1943. The origins of the company go back to the early years of the 20th century, when P. V. Jensen Klint designed and manufactured a lampshade for a paraffin lamp. Then after this, the rest of the Klint family worked on developing the lampshade further. Tage Klint turned these craft skills into a business in 1943 when he founded Le Klint. Even today, designs from the early years of the company’s history, such as the "Fruit Lantern" or the "Kiplamp", are still very popular and still remain among the best-selling models.
