The lamp is widely known simply as "Donut". Lise Navne was inspired by the inverted round shape of its edible counterpart, a doughnut, when she created the original version of the lamp.

Lise Navne is a qualified product designer from the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. She graduated in 2006. Her debut for Le Klint came in 2007 with the Donut pendant. Taking classic Le Klint cross-pleating to an extreme, Lise has created a lamp that combines classical Le Klint craftsmanship and traditions with innovative design. One cannot help but feel a certain fascination when considering the depth and richness of Kaare Klint's legacy: More than sixty years have passed since Kaare Klint created the popular cross-pleated Fruit lamp and now a talented young designer picks up the exact pleating technique and creates a modern lamp with a design expression entirely of its own.

The lamp is now available in two sizes, with a hand-folded lampshade. It is completely closed in the top and bottom with a highly polished steel plate or from brushed brass. This provides an attractive finish to the highly complex pleating.
