L12 is a refined take on the classic flip-top lighter, designed with Dieter Rams’ design ethos in mind—where form follows function, and every element serves a purpose. Created by WERK, L12 embodies a commitment to precision engineering, material honesty, and timeless simplicity.

The weight distribution, material selection, and surface finish have all been carefully considered to create a product that feels as good in the hand as it performs in use. At its core, L12 is about refinement—taking something familiar and elevating it through design, reducing it to its purest expression while maintaining an inherent timelessness. Whether placed on a desk, carried in a pocket, or used in daily rituals, L12 exists not as a statement piece, but as a quiet testament to the beauty of simplicity and precision in everyday objects.
