ABOUT KLINT

Klint is the fastest growing consumer paint brand in the Nordics, inspiring and guiding people to decorate their homes with innovative products and beautiful design. Our vision is a world where everyone can create the home of their dreams in a sustainable way, a vision we will pursue until we are the #1 global home decor brand. Our first key product innovations are hand-painted adhesive paint samples ('Swatches'), which yield a 100% colour accuracy, save 98% of the paint used when trying out colours for a room, and simplify the colour selection process for our customers. Our second key product innovation is a new type of flexible packaging for paint in the form of a transparent and recyclable paint bag.
