THE ICON:
The Zippo isn't just a lighter; it's an artefact of American grit and style. Famous for its distinctive click and windproof flame, its design has remained virtually unchanged since the 1930s. This photograph accentuates the machined steel body, the clean lines, and the weighty mechanical flip-top lid. It's a study in rugged, functional beauty, a small object that carries a heavy weight of cultural symbolism, from wartime trenches to concert stages and the big screen.
The Zippo features in some of the most extraordinary movies of the twentieth century such as Apocalypse Now, The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, The Deer Hunter and Taxi Driver to name a few. Frank Sinatra was buried with his.
The click of timeless style. Iconic, windproof, and endlessly reliable. This print focuses on the Zippo's solid metal case, perfect hinge, and distinctive shape, a design legend born in the 1930s that became a token of cool for generations, from soldiers to film stars.
