What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Model 101 Large Suspension for its timeless and iconic design, often describing it as a sculptural piece that elevates any interior. The meticulous craftsmanship and high quality materials are frequently highlighted, ensuring its durability and lasting aesthetic appeal. Many appreciate the warm, diffused light it provides, creating an inviting atmosphere.

Know before you buy
The lamp features an enclosed, spherical shape that completely hides the light source from view. This design prevents glare when looking up at the fixture from below, making it an excellent choice for tall entryways or stairwells.
Because the shade is crafted from Le Klint’s signature pleated material, it diffuses light softly and evenly. It creates a warm, ambient glow that eliminates harsh shadows, perfect for living areas or dining rooms.
The pleated material is durable, but it should be handled with care. You can typically keep it clean by using a soft duster or a can of compressed air to gently remove any dust that settles in the folds.
The Model 101 is designed for use with LED bulbs, which are recommended because they emit very little heat. Using a low-wattage LED ensures the longevity of the shade material while providing sufficient illumination.
While the design dates back to 1944, its sculptural, geometric form is timeless. It acts as a soft, organic focal point that balances well against the clean lines of contemporary furniture or minimalist architecture.
