About Constellation ライターのパッケージ
「Constellation（コンステレーション）」は、コレクターズアイテムであるライターのための限定版パッケージデザインです。パッケージは表面に配された小さなドットが発光し、ひとつずつ点灯させることでさまざまな星座を描き出すことができます。演出の最後には、光がゆっくりとフェードイン・フェードアウトします。発光機能はUSBケーブルで充電でき、フル充電で12時間持続します。ライターは磁石で内箱に固定されるため、箱をそのままディスプレイとして使うことも可能です。背面には隠された三角形のスタンドが折り出せるようになっており、パッケージを直立させられます。主な素材には紙を使用しています。
