# Leaning Tube Lighters Sway is a Unique Lighter That Will Get You Noticed By Mesel Isaac | Published 2014-09-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-lighter References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2014/08/22/leaning-lighter/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/18760737/Sway-Cigarette-Lighter) Salmon Nortje has designed a unique lighter unlike any you've seen before. Called the Sway [cigarette lighter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabisthemed-lighter), this piece by Salmon Nortje is the result of a goal to create a lighter that not only looked aesthetically pleasing, but actually enhanced the user experience. It does this in two ways: first, the button can be pressed from any side, so the user doesn't have to orient it in any specific direction, and second, the rounded bottom of the sway lighter lets it easily slide in and out of one's pocket. What really makes Sway such an intriguing lighter is that its counterweighted bottom lets it balance upright on smooth surfaces. Sway is a unique lighter that will easily spark a conversation the next time someone asks you for a light. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Universal Button Activation:** Designing lighters with buttons that can be pressed from any side creates a more user-friendly experience. - **Pocket-friendly Design:** Lighters with rounded bottoms that easily slide in and out of pockets are becoming increasingly popular. - **Counterweighted Balance:** Lighters with counterweighted bottoms that can balance upright on smooth surfaces are gaining attention. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can explore the implementation of universal button activation in various products, enhancing the user experience. - **Fashion Accessories:** Fashion accessory brands can incorporate pocket-friendly lighter designs into their product offerings, providing convenience to their customers. - **Gifts and Souvenirs:** Companies in the gifts and souvenirs industry can create counterweighted lighters as unique and eye-catching novelty items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slick Rechargeable Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rechargeable-lighter.md) - [Quirky Common Item Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-lamp-lighter.md) - [Pea-Inspired Whimsical Lighter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabletop-lighter.md) - [Minimalistic Slim Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-tone-minimal-lighter.md) - [Breath-Activated Flameless Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-torch.md) - [Premium Windproof Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-flame-butane.md) - [Inflation-Themed Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moneylighter.md) - [Mouthwatering Lighter Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indulgent-lighter-series.md) - [Positive Affirmation Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-positive-affirmations-lighter-series.md)
