Pleated lampshade are almost synonymous with Le Klint and are easily reconisable in any room. The production of these beautiful shades are a craft that is cared for and they are still handfolded in Denmark, because a special touch is needed to fold the shades and it takes a long time and effort to master this.

Also model 2 without collar is popular, especially for very stylish lamps, where model 2 seems more feminine than model 1.
Model 6 is mainly used for the famous Le Klint wood wall lamps. It is known by the more narrow and slightly upturned collar compared to model 1.
Le Klint lampshade model 12 is used for floor lamps, where you have to use a holder to mount the lampshade on the lamp itself. Model 12 is provided with an elastic strap at the top of the shade which expands slightly when the shade is mounted on the holder. The holder consists of two parts, an upper part sitting on the outside of the lampshade and a lower part, which is mounted on the lamp socket. The holder is available in several colours, depending on which floor lamp, the shade has to be used for. Many customers have an old floor lamp in their home, which require a new lampshades and therefore in many cases it is not necessary to buy a new holder, only a new lampshades. Therefore you can buy model 12 lampshade with or without holder.
