Model 101 Pendant

Le Klint embodies the epitome of Danish modernism, where the mathematical precision of origami is transformed into a functional architectural light source. Founded officially in 1943 in Odense, Denmark—though its roots trace back to the early 20th century—the brand has spent over eighty years defining "Pleated Elegance" by hand-folding every single lampshade in their specialized workshop. Today, Montreal Lighting & Hardware serves as a primary resource for designers requiring these artisanal solutions—from the iconic, cross-pleated geometry of the The Fruit Lamp (Model 101) to the contemporary, organic curves of the Swirl and Caché collections—that anchor the most prestigious residential and Nordic-inspired environments.

The brand’s identity is anchored in "Manual Mastery," a process-driven philosophy that treats the human hand as the ultimate precision tool. Their approach rejects the sterile nature of mass-market plastics, opting instead for a proprietary blend of specialized foils and linens that allow for a soft, 360-degree diffusion of light without glare. By maintaining their "Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court" status and collaborating with modern visionaries like Øivind Slaatto and Aurélien Barbry, the brand ensures its products provide a professional-grade aesthetic for any curated space. This dedication to technical integrity and timeless, sculptural silhouettes results in a signature look of Scandinavian sophistication, making their lighting an essential, high-impact element of any well-designed contemporary interior.
