Coffee table lighter ‘is a kitsch winner’

Anyone who is yet to give up smoking might want to check out a new "amazingly kitsch" coffee table lighter.

Retrotogo.com is full of praise for Kitsch-U-Like’s Dice shaped cigarette lighter, suggesting that the design-conscious who have not kicked the habit might want to splash out on one.

"This handsome table lighter would be right at home on the coffee tables of the coolest cats of the 60s and 70s," it said.

But those who have managed to quit do no need to feel left out as the website also claims that the coffee table lighter will make a good ornament, although it might prove too much of a temptation for reformed smokers who lack willpower.

It features "a great enamelled sheen and bright colours, the review added.

The lighter is currently available from Kitsch-U-Like for a reduced price of £5.09.

Perhaps the lighter might be attractive to anyone who has snapped up the reissued La Fonda coffee table.

Retrotogo.com reported that the item is available for around £1,250.
