Alessi - ''Firebird 2.0'' - Sytytin - Termoplastinen hartsi Pinkki

The Firebird gas lighter was created in 1993 following a design workshop to investigate the communicative dimension of objects, their ability to inspire, intrigue and amuse people, in a word, to relate to them. With its educated but, nevertheless, explicit, erotic allusion, at the time it generated a lot of criticism in the more puritanical environments, both inside and outside the design world. Over the years it became a real pop icon and, when it went out of production, it was obsessively sought after by collectors, ready to invest quite considerable sums of money to have it in their collections. Therefore Alessi reissued some years after its first appearance this Firebird 2.0 to honour the product with a pink PVD coating. The Firebird is an electric arc lighter that supplies enough heat to light a cigarette, candle, gas burner or the paper in a fireplace. Thanks to the long shaft, the lighter can be used easily in hard to reach positions. A domestic sculpture to be left on display and used when necessary.

Specifications:
- Equipped with a safety switch that allows you to turn it off when not in use.
- Rechargeable and works without the use of flammable liquids.
- A USB port on the base of the lighter enables charging.

This Firebird is in a new and unused condition. Delivered with original packaging, manual and power cable equipped with a micro usb socket.
