SILKET is an idiosyncratic artist from the depths of the Black Forest in the most positive sense. Continuous, creative fire meets likeable beings, meets euphoria disguised as hustle and bustle, hits the spot. A slope to perfection unites us, even if Silket's slope is clearer and sometimes exhausting, but there's always something.
Our history: I read an article about Silket in "The Heritage Post" a few years ago. Her tattoo style flashed me instantly, I had been looking for the right artist for my tattoo motif for many years. I immediately sent out an inquiry and a few weeks later received the rejection "Sorry, unfortunately there are no more appointments available at the moment". As expected, I was disappointed. That didn't stop me from trying Silket again a few years later, but that didn't stop me. This time with success, a grandiose drawing of a drinking fish now adorns my arm and the trip to the Black Forest was memorable!
2021 Silket came to visit me in Düsseldorf and we experimented, exchanged ideas, researched and built. The result after months of sending Zippos back and forth are these little masterpieces, I can say that without false modesty, I was only 50% involved. The coexistence of very special varnish, my patina and exceptional finishing techniques make this small series of Zippos so oddly abstract.
There are only a handful of Zippos at first. If and when there will be new ones? Who knows? Let's drift with a good whiskey and wait for things that take time.
1 bottle of original Zippo petrol and 1 blister of replacement flints are included for immediate use. You will also receive a handmade leather case!
SILKET x hartaufhart / 03
Accessories: A hand-sewn leather case (robust saddle stitch) made of high-quality, vegetable-tanned cowhide of European origin offers the perfect protection for the Zippo. I always produce the leather cases in small quantities, each batch is visible color different. Let yourself be surprised what kind of look you get!
In addition, 1 bottle of Zippo petrol and 1 blister of spare flints are included.
