Design story
Le Klint 172 pendant light is perhaps the most well-known Le Klint lamp. The lamp dates back to the 1960s when the managing director of Le Klint at the time, realised that even classics need new incentives. A young student of architecture and a shining talent in design, Poul Christiansen, turned up and brought models for a range of modern and magical lamps with him. With their seemingly random order, the flowing lines of the 172 range create a strong contrast to the straight folds of traditional pleated lamps.
