The new lighter collection features externally visible gears, antiqued metal finishes, and layered mechanical construction.
GENEVA, GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, February 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Thorens has announced the release of its Steampunk Series, a new lighter collection distinguished by externally visible mechanical components. Unlike conventional lighter designs that house functional elements within a smooth outer shell, the Steampunk Series integrates gears, fasteners, coils, and linkages directly into the exterior structure.
The collection expands Thorens’ product range by presenting mechanical construction as a visible and functional design element.
Product Overview
The Steampunk Series consists of compact metal lighters constructed with a layered external assembly. Mechanical components that are typically concealed are positioned on the surface and incorporated into the overall structure of each model.
The series features metal housings with antiqued finishes and intentionally aged surface treatments, resulting in a textured appearance that reflects the mechanical assembly beneath.
Design and Construction Details
The Steampunk Series incorporates the following construction elements:
Antiqued metal surfaces with aged texturing
Multi-size interlocking gears positioned on the front surface
Exposed rivets securing layered mechanical components
Copper tubes, springs, bolts, and machined openings integrated into the exterior
Side-mounted spiral-style ignition knobs designed for manual operation
All primary structural and functional components remain externally visible, allowing the mechanical assembly to be observed during use.
Each model follows a shared design language while varying the arrangement and prominence of individual mechanical elements.
