Softly Pleated - Design by Philip Bro

Elevating Our Timeless Craft

The Softly Pleated Collection reveals entirely new facets of our renowned craftsmanship. Now crafted in an exceptionally durable felt material, these lamps can withstand more robust handling than our traditional designs, while the material itself also provides an acoustic effect, depending on the lamp’s size and the dimensions of the room.

The pendants in this collection are, as with our classic lamps, hand-pleated. The felt opens up new possibilities: its dense perforations create a uniquely soft glow, while the material naturally emits a warm, golden light, enhancing the atmosphere and mood of any space.

Available in a variety of shapes and sizes, this collection is versatile enough to suit many applications, as a truly multipurpose series of lamps.

Softly Pleated I - Model 164

We also refer to it as “the round one” because the pleats are shaped from triangular segments that together form the round silhouette, also known from Kaare Klint’s iconic Model 101.

Behind the Design

Good things take time, and that may not be entirely wrong. Softly Pleated was first showcased at the "Snedkernes" Autumn Exhibition in Denmark in 2014, and in 2025 it is finally being launched as one of the year’s main highlights.

Designer Philip Bro Ludvigsen can also celebrate his 30th anniversary as a designer for Le Klint in 2025. A collaboration that began back in 1995 and has since produced many beautiful and commercially successful products.
