The 172 Pendant Light from Le Klint features a dynamic design that is well-suited to a variety of settings. Designed by Poul Christiansen in 1971, these hand-folded sculptural pendant shades have been in continuous production by the Danish company Le Klint. The beautiful shade is made out of plastic foil and pressed into its desired shape. The single sheet of the shade is then hand-folded into its three-dimensional form, displaying true craftsman

P.V. Jensen was a Bachelor of Engineering, an architect and a painter. One must accentuate two achievements which still remain after his death. One is the Grundtvig Church in Copenhagen and the other is the cross pleated lamp shade which 40 years later went into production under the company name of LE KLINT. Tage Klint, son of P.V. Jensen Klint, was the creative entrepreneur who in 1943 chose to turn the family's artistically folded lamp shades into a regular business. He also added a crucial detail to the original shades; the unique at the top of the lamp, designed to fix the shade to the metal stand. Furthermore, he designed a number of lamps which have all been a part of LE KLINT's assortment. In 1953 his son, Jan Klint, took over the company. As a business man, he was years ahead of his time. In order to secure his employees, he created a fund which has since 1972 been in charge of the company LE KLINT. In addition, the fund supports former employees, designers and architects. The unique concept and the enterprising Klint family would not have been enough on their own, because without one particular resource, namely all the skilled pleaters at Le Klint, it would have been impossible to put the concept into actual production. Assiduous, precise and highly dexterous, they have turned the designers' proposals and models into beautiful shades over the years. The pleaters are still there today - because no machine can ever replace craftsmanship.

This is a perennial favorite of mine!
This is a perennial favorite of mine with clients; it works well in spaces small and large, and is beautiful without being overly feminine.

My client's child is terrified of this thing.
My client wanted somthing fanciful in his daughter's bedroom. This fit the bill and looks beautiful. Unfortunately his 2 year old daughter did not agree and kept pointing to it and screeming until it was taken down. Perhaps it will reappear in a couple of years when she is a bit older.

I love this light!
This was the least expensive light that I ordered for my new home. I put it in the master bath stall but I love it so much that I could use it anywhere. It's a lot of design for not much money.

Beautiful Fixture!
I recently bought a highrise condo in midtown Atlanta and the previous owner had installed an "antique" style chandelier in the master bedroom!? I replaced it with the Le Klint pendant fixture and it's absolutely stunning and it highly complements the rest of my ultra contemporary furnishings. Highly recommend it.

LOVE the le Klimt.
It's gorgeous and works in a modern or traditional space. Beautifully made. I agree with previous reviewers that the installation instructions are too minimal and the bit that goes on the ceiling too plastic/cheap looking when you unpack it but it goes on fine.

this is my daughters lighting choice for her bedroom
I ordered the light as it is the light fixture our 8 year old daughter wanted very badly for her bedroom.I did not realize that there were choices in size. Therefore, I had to send back the light to exchange for a larger size as the one I did order was took small for her space. The light was packed well and looked good but the directions for installation are very minimal;I am hoping my installer will know how to properly install this fixture once I buy the correct size.

A new light for our daughters bedroom
The light is fantastic;unfortunately I ordered it too small for the space we wanted to hang it in.I have returned the light I will re-order the fixture in a larger size. However,the included directions to hang the Le Klint were very brief and I do hope that my installers will not have an issue putting it in.

Great design, dubious quality, but I still love this fixture!
First delivery: the lamp had crimps/dents in the plastic, but ylighting was great in dealing with the exchange - no issues with them at all. But do inspect your lamp very carefully. All of the reviews are straight on! No installation instructions, plastic, (cheap) materials, but when installed, the lamp is STUNNING. The top ceiling cone/cover is very cheap, and the small amount of info provided says that it will stay up on it's own, but it slides down a bit. There is a small hole to place a bolt or blunt screw to secure it, but nothing was provided to do so. This was my first hard-wire installation (with help from others), and I was able to successfully install it myself. I wish that Illuminating Experiences (the manufacturer) would read these reviews about their product and would improve some of the materials and installation information.

Simply beautiful
I absolutely love this pendant light. It looks amazing. I have it hanging in from the cathedral ceiling in my master bedroom. It is subtle yet adds texture to the space. The bulbs are easy to find, I highly recommend this product.

Beautiful modern classic
The Le Klint Pendant 172 is simply a beautiful, unique piece of design, a real modern classic. At first a bit worried about the plastic feel, this pendant light just looks beautiful once installed.

Iconic fixture, looks great in our home!
We were very pleased when the Le Klint arrived. It fit's perfectly in our home, and was easy to install. We were a little worried about the mounting canopy based on some of the other reviews, but in our home, the minimalistic cone looks great!

Gorgeous. Classic.
This lamp is gorgeous. I have wanted one for years and we finally pulled the trigger when YLighting had them on sale. We are building one of the few modern homes in Charleston, SC and it seemed fitting to have one of these over our dining room table.

Cheap looking canopy and metal, but otherwise very pretty.
The conical canopy is a flimsy, cheap looking plastic and the wire that attaches to it at the top is equally cheap and tacky looking. One would expect something of a higher quality in terms of material and finishes for such an expensive fixture. The fixture itself is very pretty, but we ended up sending it back.

Adds zing to our powder room
We put this light in when we remodeled our small powder room. Most of the bathroom design is simple and modern so we wanted one or two elements that would pop. This light did the trick. It's also brighter than we had anticipated so we added a dimmer switch.

Beauty personified!
I hung this lamp in my library/office as a central ceiling fixture. I was a little worried that it would not be suitable for this location, since most illustrations picture the light hanging much lower and used in more defined spaces. But I needn't have worried. I hung it about 14in. below our 9'5" ceiling and it looks stunning! And it looks simply beautiful as a foil for my books, maps, paintings, and Bertoia chairs. Even my husband is enchanted. P.S. The electrician hooked it up in 2 minutes--no issues.

Very cool fixture
Although the installation was a bit awkward, once we figured it out, the fixture was easy. It is a cool fixture, really works with both modern and ecletic interiors. It also gives off much more light that we thought which was perfect for this installation. Two compliants: 1. there was no installation sheet at all! 2. the fixture is not grounded! This is a serious issue as we had to ground a wire ourselves but there are likely many people who do not (given that there are no installation instructions) and that would be a a code violation.

I have become a convert to modern style in lighting.
The Le Klint pendant arrived and is such a breath of fresh air and design in my kitchen. I have a pretty traditional kitchen and this light brings style without fighting anything else in the room.
