MEMORIES YOU
HOLD ONTO

LIGHTNING RODS reimagine the travel memento as a totem designed to hold our experiences for a lifetime.


And beyond.

COLLECT YOURSELF

Fill your memory bank with LIGHTNING RODS marking important experiences from your adventurous life.

LIGHTNING RODS are available engraved with any country or customizable to any experience.

No matter where you’ve been, you can hold onto your memories forever.

“Life is not what one lived,
but what one remembers
and how one remembers it
in order to recount it.”

– Gabriel García Márquez

MADE BY HAND

In a small shop in Tampa, Florida, each LIGHTNING ROD is hand cut and polished from raw metal. The country is then laser-etched into the metal to permanently embed your experience.

MADE TO HOLD

Like memories, LIGHTNING RODS are not precious. They are designed to be revisited, held closely, and shared with those close to us.

With time, they wear, accumulate nicks and scratches, and even discolor — proof of a life lived fully.

MADE TO LAST

LIGHTNING RODS are crafted from solid stainless steel and designed to last for generations.

  • Medical-grade SAE 304 stainless steel

  • Silvery finish

  • Solid and weighty

  • 70% Fe / 20% Cr / 10% Ni

  • Expected life: 500-750 years

DESIGNED BY TRAVELERS

“We set out to create minimalist travel mementos that would capture the spark we feel when we explore new places.

LIGHTNING RODS are our expression of the importance we place on collecting these new experiences.

Never forget your electric moments.
They make us who we are.”

🤍 Jason + Laura
