LE KLINT 152A (small), hand-pleated in plastic.
This model was designed in 1962 by the architects Hvidt & Mølgaard. With its long, slim shape and characteristic plissé, the series quickly earned itself a nickname: Organ Pipe. Model 152 is available in two sizes. For a stunning effect, hang two side by side.

Peter Hvidt
Architect, 1916 - 1986
Peter Hvidt was founder and co-owner of the architect company Hvidt & Mølgaard.
The partnership of Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen and Peter Hvidt was a pioneering force in industrial furniture production and Danish furniture design in the 1950s.
Their architectonic idiom was light, clear and simple. Their building designs were thoroughly worked out to the smallest detail. These two architects have made their mark on the furnishings and interior design arena. Peter Hvidt is also best-known for the AX chair, designed for Fritz Hansen.
Hvidt's cooperation with LE KLINT has also resulted in many lamp models.
"I have always been fascinated with light in its many forms. I am constantly amazed at the ability of pure natural light´s power, to enhance or deplete nature´s beauty. On occasion, I have questioned, how can it get us to simultaneously, think about colour texture and shade, while interacting with our senses and affecting our moods." Kim Weckstrøm Jensen, CEO
