Stands like a torch, lights up like a Zippo.
Concept: replace batteries with a rechargeable oil reservoir; mechanical ignition, extended autonomy, and a revived aesthetic of a primitive but efficient object.
Allusion to the gladiators' helmet — protecting the flame.
Details: enveloping shape reminiscent of helmets, flame shield.
