OBSIDIAN TABLE CIGAR LIGHTER TYPE 2 — BLACK, SILVER AND BROWN OBSIDIAN
The Obsidian Cigar Lighter Type 1 is a refined cigar accessory crafted from natural volcanic glass and designed with a strong architectural presence. The body of the lighter is carved from solid obsidian, revealing the deep natural tones and subtle crystalline reflections characteristic of this remarkable material.
Its geometric form is defined by clean lines and precise facets that interact with light, creating a sculptural object that resembles a polished gemstone. The contrast between the smooth metal ignition mechanism and the rich texture of natural obsidian emphasizes both craftsmanship and material authenticity.
Each lighter is individually produced, and due to the natural formation of obsidian, every piece displays unique internal patterns and tonal variations. The result is not only a functional cigar lighter but also a distinctive design object.
Available in Black Obsidian, Silver Obsidian, and Brown (Mahogany) Obsidian, the desk lighter pairs naturally with obsidian cigar ashtrays and other stone accessories, creating a cohesive and sophisticated cigar setting.
Designed for cigar enthusiasts who value natural materials, precision, and understated luxury, the Obsidian Table Cigar Lighter Type 1 combines practical functionality with sculptural elegance.
The Obsidian Cigar Lighter Type 1 approaches the cigar lighter as a carved mineral object rather than a conventional metal accessory. Its form is defined by precise faceting that treats natural obsidian as a structural material, allowing light to interact with the volcanic glass surface in controlled reflections.
The design emphasizes the dialogue between mineral mass and mechanical precision. The ignition mechanism is intentionally restrained, allowing the obsidian body to remain the dominant visual element of the object.
Produced individually from natural volcanic glass, each lighter retains subtle variations in texture and internal patterning, reinforcing its character as a material-driven design piece within a refined cigar environment.
THE ARTISTRY OF MATERIALS
Obsidian (Volcanic Glass). Origin: Armenia
Obsidian, with its origin in Armenia, is a naturally occurring volcanic glass. It is created when felsic lava expelled from a volcano cools rapidly, preventing the formation of crystals. Obsidian has been recognized and used since prehistoric times, making it one of the earliest known materials employed by humans for tools, weapons, and artistic creations. Its unique properties and sharp edges when fractured have made it a valuable and versatile material throughout history.
