Klint Trust Fund

LE KLINT Trust Fund was established by Jan Klint in 1972 and still plays an important role in the company’s financial infrastructure. The foundation grants yearly scholarships to young, upcoming architects and designers. 

The Klint Trust Fund

The object of the Klint Trust Fund – in addition to operating the company LE KLINT A/S – is to provide financial support to young people pursuing an education within commerce and industry, particularly in the field of craft art. This support is granted in the form of scholarships or loans.
 
The trust fund currently grants financial support to young designers and architects and does so twice a year.

Lise Navne applied for a scholarship and designed the Donut lamp in 2007. 

Establisment of the fund

The Klint Trust Fund was established in 1972 when director Jan Klint bequeathed his shares in LE KLINT A/S to the Klint Trust Fund. Prior to this, he had purchased his siblings’ shares in the family company.

Good working conditions

It was imperative to director Jan Klint to safeguard the company’s existence after his passing, and, not least, to ensure good working conditions for the staff.

This article was published in Berlingske Tidende on 18 November 1979. 

He was keenly aware of the company’s unique position, first and foremost as a producer of craft art in the form of the renowned hand-folded lampshades.

At the time, mass production was flourishing, and Jan Klint frequently stated to the media that his employees should not be worn out. Accelerating the work pace was not crucial to him, as it was more important to preserve a healthy work climate and a work pace that did not adversely affect product quality or employee health.

Visionary outlook

The formation of the trust fund was a wise, visionary move. It has ensured the company’s existence as a Danish workplace focused on good craftsmanship and design. Jan Klint’s ideas of retaining a healthy work climate still apply and are honoured to this very day.
 
Jan Klint continued as director of the company right up to his death in 1989. Today the company is managed by CEO Kim Weckstrøm Jensen.

Generally, we dispatch by Post Danmark according to their regulations and prices at any time.

You will be contacted with a quote shortly after placing an order.

We reserve the right to not accept foreign orders for locations that involve too large a risk or unreasonably high freight costs.

Damages/Defects
From the moment a carrier attempts to deliver the goods they are at the customer’s full responsibility. Therefore, we advise you to inspect the parcels for any visible damage before accepting the delivery. If the goods have been damaged during transit, please contact us immediately by mail or phone. If possible, please send us a photo of the damaged item. Please have your receipt and/or delivery note at hand when getting in touch with us.

Should an item be received damaged without your objecting to the carrier, disputes may arise if the damage occurred during transport or due to your own act or neglect and in that case you may not be able to claim compensation/replacement.

All items returned to LE KLINT must be adequately packaged.

Receipt
Valid receipt is order confirmation and/or delivery note specifying the purchased items.
