Le Klint x Pascal Hien
Timeless design principles focusing on durability and easy assembly define the shared philosophy and vision of Pascal Hien and Le Klint. The collaboration began after Pascal Hien met director Kim Weckstrøm Jensen and product developer Sinja Svarrer Damkjær at a trade fair in Cologne, and later at Le Klint's store and showroom in Copenhagen during 3 Days of Design. Upon returning to Berlin, Pascal Hien began designing lamps with Le Klint's spirit in mind.
Spot - Model 356
Spot stands out with its simple and durable materials, leaving nothing hidden. The lamp's tiltable head with a handle gives it a distinctive character with a useful function. Spot can be placed on a table or on the floor, but it can also be used as a wall lamp, as an extra hang-up for Spot is included.
Quote Pascal Hien
"The idea was to create a lamp that can be carried around the home. The soft wooden handle underscores this function. It is a result of my personal experiences, where I have travelled extensively and lived in several countries and cities, which has made me only bring the most essential things with me. But the primary inspiration is my love for espresso machines (handle) and bicycle components (clamp + metal wire) in the design, emphasising the lamp's agile and portable nature,"
The core idea of the design is to elevate the light source from the floor to a preferred height using simple materials. A metal rod forms the lamp's base, while an aluminium clamp connects all components with a single screw and an Allen key. By not using batteries but instead employing a traditional cable, the lamp has a longer lifespan. The lampshade, made of durable plastic, is resistant to accidental drops. Furthermore, all components of Spot can be replaced or repaired.
Spot is available in the colors black, steel, green and red.
