This work in progress is an electric alternative to traditional butane lighters such as the Bic lighter. This design is an exercise of creating a disruptive and sustainable alternative to an existing product.
The lighter uses an arc lighter module as opposed to a flame. The buttons on either side create a way to easily and quickly use the lighter; while also making it difficult to be accidentally triggered in a bag or a pocket.
You can see inspiration from Dieter Rams' minimalist design principles, as well as the Juul product which effectively (for better or worse) made vaporizers a mass market alternative to cigarettes.
