Le Klint 161 Pendant

The 161 Pendant was designed by Hvidt & Mølgaard in 1969 and originally released under the Danish name Krystal. As the name suggests, the pendant takes its name from a diamond, crafted from pleated plastic to achieve its unmistakable shape. Every shade is hand-folded in Denmark, meaning no two pendants are the same and must be handled with care to avoid any breakages. The 161 is suspended from a simple flex which gives the pendant stability while adding to its weightless appearance.

With an enclosed shade, the 161 Pendant has a warm diffused light that creates a comforting atmosphere. The glare-free lighting means this pendant can be suspended at both high and low heights, giving it the versatility to be installed in a range of spaces. Install in clusters at different heights to create a captivating display. Reminiscent of an abstract cloud, the pendant’s weightless appearance looks striking when hung above a dining room table. In commercial interiors, the 161 Pendant will leave a lasting impression when installed in hotel lobbies or contemporary offices.
