The conceptual 'Tiny Flame' lighter has been designed by LYN (Youngnam Lee) as a stylish decor item for the home that modernizes an essential accessory and makes it suited for being left out on display. The lighter features a teardrop design that maintains a self-referential aesthetic that looks like the very flame that it offers access to. The matte-finished bottom portion of the lighter is deviated from with the upper polished point, which also distinguishes itself as the access point for users to pull back to activate the flame.
The conceptual 'Tiny Flame' lighter is imagined in three finish options including gold, silver and black with rose gold, and help to make a simple product more applicable for modern consumers to keep in their space.
