LE KLINT today
We consider it our responsibility at Le Klint to inspire
and assist in making responsible choices. When it
comes to sustainability, we do not simply focus on a
single product or material, we take the whole process
into consideration then strive to act as responsibly as
possible. Another important factor, is a lamp’s lifespan
after it has been sold. We want our lamps to have
longevity and to be passed on to future generations,
with the possibility of being, repaired if necessary.
Sustainable design
We do not follow fast trends but rather work to hit
trends that are both timeless in their function, materials,
colours and shapes. Often we are actually told that our
lamps from the 40s, 50s and 60s still has a modern
expression, making them easy to remain hanging in
homes for many decades, where the next generation
also gets the opportunity to appreciate their beauty
due to the ingenuity of their classic and timeless design.
Made in Odense
We are proud that we have maintained production
in Odense, since 1943 where the company began.
We believe that both pleating and folding is very special
techniques which is why we have decided to preserve
handcrafting lamps and lampshades, way into the
unforeseeable future. At Le Klint, it takes about a year
to learn the technique then two-three years to master
all models in our range. We stand by our decision that
Le Klint is a “Made in Odense” company, and we will
continue to be so.
Quality and Materials
In addition to producing designs with aesthetics in
mind, it is important to us that the design is made
of the best quality materials to last a lifetime. Your
lamp can be serviced and repaired to last for the
enjoyment of another generation. We believe that
the longevity of a lamp, is an important part of the
concept of sustainability.
We only use good, solid and honest materials, ideally
sourced from local suppliers to reduce our carbon
footprint while supporting local producers. We contract
and commit to subcontractors that are based on a
mutual respect for quality and social responsibility and
we expect our collaborative partners to respect all
environmental conscious guidelines including the
handling of material waste and disposal, responsibly.
