Combining an elegant ribbed ceramic base with le klint's iconic hand-folded shade, this lamp is a timeless example of danish craftsmanship and one of the company's most refined post-war table lamp designs.

the softly stepped white glazed ceramic base is complemented by a satin brass gallery, supporting the original hand-folded le klint shade. The harmonious proportions and restrained detailing embody the principles of scandinavian modern design, where simplicity, craftsmanship and beautifully controlled light are brought together in perfect balance.

while the precise designer of the model 313 has not been conclusively documented by le klint, the lamp belongs to the company's celebrated post-war collection developed within the le klint design studio during the period when esben klint played a central role in shaping the firm's design direction.

one of the most desirable features of this example is its original hand-folded le klint shade, which remains in exceptional condition with no tears, splits or damage. Original period shades are becoming increasingly difficult to find and are highly prized by collectors, preserving both the authenticity of the lamp and the beautifully soft, glare-free illumination that has defined le klint lighting for generations.

the warm diffused light produced by the folded shade creates a calm, atmospheric ambience, making the lamp equally suited to a bedside table, sideboard or living room.
