LE KLINT Launches the Kaare Klint Legacy S Series, Continuing the Design Heritage of the Model 101 Pleated Shade

LE KLINT has introduced the Kaare Klint Legacy S series, developed from the smallest size of the brand’s iconic Pendant Model 101. Designed by Kaare Klint the year after LE KLINT was founded, Model 101 remains one of the brand’s most popular lighting designs. The new series includes two types: a mini pendant and a pendant/chandelier. The series was carefully developed by LE KLINT’s design team, grounded in the craftsmanship, carefully selected materials, and attention to detail that Kaare Klint pursued. Respecting the original design he created, the team refined it into a form that feels contemporary while remaining timeless. To preserve the company’s history and inherited design legacy, all products are manufactured in Denmark. Kaare Klint Legacy was designed to create new value based on Kaare’s pioneering approach to the pleated shade in Model 101. It also expresses the brand’s desire to further develop the design world he created, which continues to captivate people today.
