The Hard-edge was introduced in 1999 when contemporary lighter design had moved towards streamlined and decorative forms. We took a contrarian approach to introduce an un-ergonomic lighter with minimal ‘hard’ outlines, emphazising its object-ness. This was an outcome of multiple efforts to strip all decoration for function — the simple shape of the lighter is what emerged from this investigation. The Hard-edge has since become an iconic item in our catalogue spanning over 60 years. Details Material: Polycarbonate, Steel and Cotton Size: 2.25" x 1.25" x .5" Made in Japan
