Handcrafted from beginning to end in Tokyo, the Hard Edge lighter is available in two different finishes:

The “marble” finish reproduces a tortoise pattern, using the lighter’s angular surfaces as its canvas. The patterning on the translucent body is spray-painted by hand in multiple layers using floated stencils, then polished to perfection. These mottled gradations are never exactly the same, making each piece unique.

Meanwhile, the “latitude” finish adds a dimensional, ridged design to the casing. The geometric pattern is achieved through a jewelry fabrication method in which patterns are made with a diamond tipped engraving bit. The effect is simultaneously luxurious and utilitarian, carrying a sense of ease.
