Model 101 – Chandelier in Classic Danish Design
The Model 101 Chandelier features five arms and five hand-folded lampshades. The gently curved arms meet at a rounded central fitting, giving the design a harmonious and balanced expression. With a height of 46 cm and a diameter of 66 cm, the chandelier is well suited to rooms with lower ceilings as well as taller spaces such as entrance halls and dining rooms.
The chandelier is available in brass and browned brass, each with its own distinctive character. The classic brass finish has a warm, golden tone, while browned brass lends the design a deeper, brown hue. The two variants are complemented by textile cords in white and natural linen, respectively.
Vintage Brass – Browned Brass
The browned finish is created through a controlled treatment of untreated brass, bringing out the material’s natural character. A final application of wax provides a protective layer. As the browning is an integral part of the brass itself, the surface will feature individual colour variations and may evolve over time depending on the surrounding environment and the composition of the brass.To preserve the finish, gently remove dust with a soft dusting brush or a clean, dry cloth, without applying excessive pressure.
KAARE KLINT Legacy
Drawing on the original Model 101 from 1944, the Klint Design Team has carried Kaare Klint’s design language forward in a series that also includes a wall lamp and a mini pendant. The series reflects his appreciation for considered proportions, quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship – values that continue to shape LE KLINT’s approach to Danish design. -

Only the best materials
The paper
Our paper has a beautiful tactile look and feel. The paper is made in Germany by a supplier that produces paper in accordance with stringent standards with regard to the means of production and paper quality.
Standard foil
The standard foil has a very white and clean appearance. The material is made in Europe from a special lampshade foil (hard PVC). The material is UV resistant, fire retardant, and has an antistatic surface.
The craftsmanship of folding
We take pride in having retained the old craft of folding lampshades in Odense. Folding lampshades is a difficult craft to learn, and it takes several years for the skilful folding technicians to master all our models.
Wood
We utilise wooden components for several of our lamps, which are supplied by Danish partners, primarily on Funen and in Jutland. Wood may have different colours and structures, as trees have different growth periods. The grains and colours are the result of the tree’s surroundings, the environment, the point in time when tree was felled and from which part of the trunk the wood is taken from.
Glass
Our glass is sourced from European glassworks that use hand blown glass. Hand blowing gives the glass a unique living structure, which may include "waves" and small air bubbles in the glass. We obviously work to a very high standard of quality, but we regard these small details in the glass as the glassblower's personal touch and thus a part of the craftsmanship.
The details
The production of each lamp is carefully monitored in order to catch any potential flaws in the material or errors made during the folding process. Once a lampshade has been folded and sown, it is sent to the quality control department, where the lamp undergoes a final check by turning, rotating, and carefully examining it one last time before it is packaged.
Metal
Most of the metal components are produced by ourselves or by our Danish suppliers, with set requirements regarding the production conditions and the materials used. In order to protect the metal surfaces, visible brass and aluminium parts are coated. This also means that customers don't have to polish or clean the brass parts of a LE KLINT lamp.
