Hard-Edge Petrol Lighter
Tsubota Pearl has been manufacturing high-quality lighters and leather goods in Japan since 1952. All components are still made as they were back then, in specialised workshops in and around the Asakusa area of Tokyo.
The Hard Edge Lighter was introduced in 1999 as a reaction against the tendency towards streamlining and rounding in industrial design. Its minimal form feels great in the hand, turning each light into a little moment of pleasure.
