Model 306 Table Lamp
from Le Klint
model 306 table lamp
Design Kaare Klint, 1945
Hand folded paper or PVC shade, brass
Made in Denmark by Le Klint
This versatile lamp was designed by Kaare Klint in 1945. With its tilt function, it easily converts from a wall lamp to a table lamp, and vice versa. This means that the lamp can be converted in line with changing needs in interior décor.
Kaare Klint designed several fine lamps for Le Klint, of which several play a central part in the collection today. Through his own furniture designs and his teachings, Kaare Klint influenced an entire generation of Danish furniture designers. He emphasized good materials and perfect craftsmanlike manufacturing. He thus had a particularly close collaboration with Rud. Rasmussens Snedkeri (Rud. Rasmussen's Cabinetmakers, now Carl Hansen & Søn), which still produce a wide range of his classic furniture. While the older brother Tage Klint primarily took care of the development of the technical principles behind the lampshades, Kaare Klint's speciality was the artistic work, such as printed matters, exhibitions and not least lamps and solid geometric constructions, which his pendant, the Lantern, is a good example of. He also designed the company logo, which was used in the first catalogue in October 1943.
The lamp is available in brass with a hand-folded lampshade.
13.8" diameter | 16.1" h | requires 1x 10w E26 bulb
