viking lighter

Dani Soter

Hello Sebastián!

I found this images on the web and I thought you might like them. These are viking lighters. Unfortunately I don’t have more information about them.

I’ve had a lot of ideas and I’ll send you tomorrow some drafts of what I’d like to make. We’ll look for a contact point between our objects and thoughts to produce a first spark.

I’m particularly interested in objects that create comunication with others persons, that provoke interactivity and have a symbolic sense. There are not often jewel that you can use for gala night…

I have sought inspiration in Lampião and Maria Bonita, a very famous couple of brazilian bandits ( in the tradition of R0bin of Sherwood)

Look what I found on the web…

“Cangaço is the name given to a form of “social banditry” in the Nordeste of Brazil in late 19th and early 20th centuries. This region of Brazil is known for its aridness and hardships, and in a form of reaction against the domination of the land owners, the government and the European colonizers, many men and women decided to become nomadic bandits, roaming the sertões, seeking money, food, and revenge.”
