The divine Le Klint Caleo Pendant is a total show-stopper! Concocted by designer Rikke Frost, it's a sleek fusion of classic and cutting-edge Danish designs. And it's available in three glorious varieties!
Located in Odense, Denmark, LE KLINT focuses on good craftsmanship and in-house production as branding cornerstones. World-renowned quality lighting results from techniques and traditions handed down from generation to generation, which are still carried out today by a broad team of highly skilled workers.
LE KLINT is synonymous with lampshades. Iconic, hand-folded shades take years of learning techniques and mastering many different pleating forms. Only then can a student test into certification to become part of the skilled team of Pleating Technicians. However, this is only a fraction of the procedure of each lamp. Specialist metal workers, woodworkers, and engineers play a big part in the magic of creating unique illuminated art. These tenets have gone hand-in-hand with the folding process since their genesis.
A dedicated LE KLINT team takes great pride in every aspect of the production, fitting, quality control, and shipment procedures to ensure each lamp is unique. In-house production facilities in Odense collaborate with skilled suppliers such as wood carvers, metal casters, and glass blowers, based in Denmark or internationally, with the main focus on quality as “the” guideline.

To clean the shades, you can use a handheld vacuum, a damp cloth, a feather duster, or a soft brush.
To remove the shades - follow instructions in the manual as you would fit or replace a lightbulb.

Rikke Frost
Rikke Frost was honored to be the overall winner of DR1's culture show "Denmark's next classic." We helped Rikke along the way with one of the six challenges of the program, which was the task of creating a beautiful table lamp.
Viewers could follow Rikke on TV as she created a classic but reimagined lamp. Our encounter with Rikke has resulted in an exciting collaboration. With some adjustments, the light from the show was introduced as a lighting series named "CALEO." The name is Latin for "to highlight," which refers to the lamps' beautiful browned upstrokes, which were hand-crafted.
In addition to participating in "Denmark's next classic," Rikke has participated in several exhibitions at home and abroad. She has won several design awards, including Boligmagasinet's Design Award as the reader favorite of 2012 with her rocking chair "Sway." On a regular day, she works in her own company, "Rikke Frost Design," and her collaborators include companies such as Tempur, Skagerak, Cane-Line, Warm Nordic, and LE KLINT.
Rikke graduated from the Aarhus School of Architecture in 2000.
LE KLINT
LE KLINT is a lighting company established in 1943, but the story of the company dates back to the beginning of the 20th century when a hand pleated lamp shade was folded to fit a paraffin lamp both designed by architect and master of engineering P.V. Jensen-Klint. We have ever since maintained our original concept but we are constantly seeking to develop within modern times.
