Classic cross-fold umbrella rotated 90 degrees

The Caleo pendant lamp by Rikke Frost for Le Klint is familiar to every Dane from the TV show & “Denmark & ’s Next Classic & .” For her design, Rikke Frost combined a brass frame with a classic pleated shade from Le Klint . Thanks to the frame, the pleats of the shade could be rotated 90 degrees, giving the lamp a modern look. It combines innovative elements with the Danish craft of shade pleating. The name comes from Latin and means “to highlight”—a reference to the lamp’s elegant brown lines, which are applied by hand. “With only three weeks to design a new dining table lamp, I quickly settled on paper as the obvious material. On the drawing board, the idea took shape to diffuse the light through a more or less closed, folded ‘paper sphere.’ Due to the tight deadline, I sent Le Klint what was probably the simplest and most basic sketch I’ve ever sent to a potential collaboration partner. Fortunately, they took the idea on board, and together we developed the lamp.”_{Rikke Frost.}

Caleo Family

With its beautiful details and pleated shade, the lamp exudes elegance and exclusivity. Inspired by the lamp from the TV show, a Caleo series that, in addition to the original lamp, includes small and medium-sized spherical pendant lamps. The pattern and lines are retained in the new lamps, while the suspension and orientation of the pattern are more traditional in the newest additions to the Caleo -family are more traditional.
