The Beginning of Flint
Tell us, what sort of lighter did you last use? Was it rechargeable? Were your fingers protected from the flame? Was it beautiful? Did you enjoy using it? Is it kept on display in your home?
Flint was born via our first product, The Rechargeable Lighter, from our desire to use not just any old lighter, but a lighter that was practical, sustainable, and beautiful.
Lighters had always been a mere after-thought: pure function. But we wanted a world where we would no longer be filling our drawers with stray matchboxes or undesirable, plastic lighters. We wanted to create home essentials that elevated the experience of ritual and routine, without compromising on form or function.
An idea sparked
Chloe founded Flint in 2020. She was standing in her kitchen, lighting her stove with a plastic lighter and thought that surely, there had to be a better option. What if there was a brass version of this?
As she moved through her daily routines and rituals, she thought again: Why am I lighting a $100 candle with an ugly, disposable lighter?
So, she decided to do something about it.
Welcome to the world of Flint.
We believe every object is a chance to tell a story. Through the elevation of home essentials by design and technology, we are committed to doing so without compromising on form,function, accessibility, or the environment.
