Dumæ's Kayla Lighter: Sculptural Brass Meets Everyday Ritual

Dumæ, a design brand based in Los Angeles, has unveiled the Kayla Lighter, a sculptural brass lighter that enhances the routine of lighting candles. This refillable and handcrafted lighter, made in India, functions as both a practical tool and a stylish home accessory. Founded by Kym Gold and Sakshi Khurana, Dumæ partners with artisans in India to merge contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship. The Kayla Lighter was launched alongside a broader collection featuring tabletop items, candle holders, lighting solutions, and collectible gifts. The brand's name reflects Point Dume from Malibu, where Gold was raised, and Mae, honoring motherhood and influential women in her life. Gold co-founded True Religion, while Khurana has collaborated with Giorgio Armani and Urban Zen by Donna Karan. Dumæ seeks to infuse beauty and permanence into daily rituals, with designs that transition seamlessly between homes, hotels, and communal areas. The Kayla Lighter signifies Dumæ's entry into sculptural brass, complementing its existing range of ceramics, wax, metal, paper, textiles, and lighting.
