Model 141 Urchina – Pendant with a Sculptural Design Language
Urchina is a sculptural pendant that brings together organic forms and our signature hand-pleated tradition. Inspired by the unique balance of structure and softness found in the sea urchin, the voluminous shade appears light and harmonious, while its precisely crafted pleats surround the light source to create a soft, comfortable illumination. The pendant is ideal above dining tables, in living spaces or anywhere light and form are intended to take centre stage.
The hand-pleated shade is finished with light oak details that elegantly frame the design at both the top and bottom. Urchina is suspended from three fine wires, giving the pendant a light, almost floating appearance, while the cable falls freely in a gentle curve between the fixture and the ceiling. The specially designed canopy has been carefully proportioned to complement each of the collection's three sizes, creating a harmonious relationship between the suspension and the pendant itself.
Designed by Jette Scheib, Urchina combines the organic forms of nature with our proud folding tradition and craftsmanship. The result is a pendant where hand-pleated details, natural materials and soft illumination come together in a harmonious whole.

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.
