Craighill

Swingtop Lighter - Black

$78.00

A small, deliberate machine for fire, fidgeting, and hands-on fun.

Single mechanism opens, lights, and snuffs
Refillable naphtha-fueled wick lighter
Made to be kept
Made of stainless steel

When you depress the swingarm to load it with opposing force, the top swings open. Then, you release your thumb, and the arm returns that force to strike the flint, sparking the flame. When you're ready to snuff it out, the top swings shut, and we're back to zero. From there, you'll probably want to do it again. And maybe again a few times after that.

Why? Well, maybe you've got a lot of candles around the house. Or a bit of a thing for bottle rockets. Or, and this is their hunch, it's just a fun and satisfying thing to do with your hands.

Built in explicit defiance of disposability, the Swingtop Lighter has a nearly magnetic draw that stands in stark opposition to its many made-to-be-lost alternatives. You're less likely to wonder where you left it because, chances are, it's still in your hand.

About the Brand

Craighill

Co-founded in 2015 by a native of Alexandria, VA, Craighill makes exquisite everyday objects. The way they see it, the more mundane and routine an action is - like opening a letter or pulling out your keys - the greater the opportunity to move us out of our busy, overworked minds and return us to the sensory pleasures of touching, seeing, and doing. The little things make a big difference, and Craighill makes the little things that function and feel just right.
