Stefano Ricci SR Dual Flame Lighter — Nail Polish Orange / Gold

Stefano Ricci SR Dual Flame Lighter — Nail Polish Orange / Gold

Orange is a demanding color to use in luxury goods. It sits between red's ceremony and yellow's warmth, belonging fully to neither, and the objects that carry it well tend to do so with confidence — using the color at full saturation rather than backing away from it into amber or rust. In nature, orange is the color of fire: not the blue-white core of intense combustion, but the warmer, more visible outer flame, the color that fire produces when it has oxygen and fuel in the ratio that makes it most itself. On a lighter — an object whose sole function is the controlled production of that exact phenomenon — orange carries a correspondence that no other color in the nail polish collection achieves in quite the same way.

Stefano Ricci applies nail polish to the lighter body precisely because nail polish is formulated to achieve maximum chromatic saturation at small scale. The orange here is not the muted orange of an industrial coating; it has depth and richness, the layered quality of a lacquer rather than the flat quality of a paint. At the scale of an object held in the hand it reads as vivid and deliberate.

Orange / Gold

Orange and gold are adjacent on the warm end of the spectrum, and in combination they reinforce each other's warmth rather than contrasting with it. The result is a lighter that is fully committed to its color register — warm, luminous, and without the cooler interruptions that black or silver hardware would introduce. In the collection of five nail polish colors, the orange is the one that looks most directly like what a lighter is.

Dual Flame System

The lighter operates with two flame modes — soft flame for table use, torch flame for outdoor conditions. Both modes available from a single piece.

Now available at The Tobacconist of Greenwich.
