Gold Tone Cigarette Case & Integrated Lighter

This Benson & Hedges cigarette case reflects the refined material language of late 20th-century smoking accessories, when even utilitarian objects were rendered with precision. Executed in gold tone metal with a high-gloss finish, its rectilinear silhouette is clean and architectural, softened at the corners and articulated with a discreet hinge that preserves its streamlined profile. The interior houses both elastic retainers and an integrated lighter mechanism, consolidating function within a compact, considered form. It stands as a study in surface, proportion, and the era’s appetite for objects that felt deliberate in the hand.
