His mother was Le Bredsdorff and his father was the world-famous architect, Professor Kaare Klint, who is generally considered the father of modern Danish design and the man behind such iconic pieces of furniture as the Safari Chair, the Faaborg Chair and the Addition Sofa. At the time of Esben Klint’s birth, the family was living in Java, Indonesia, but a few years later they moved back to Copenhagen where Esben Klint grew up. His mother died when Esben Klint was three years old. For the rest of his childhood, he spent a lot of time with his grandparents – the Danish architect and furniture designer P.V. Jensen-Klint and his wife, Mathilde Jensen-Klint.
