Second run of Limited Edition Perkons HD-01 BLACK

Due to high demand and to celebrate the 11th anniversary of Erica Synths, we are happy to announce a second run of special edition PĒRKONS HD-01 units with custom-made side panels! Crafted from handpicked hardwood and meticulously engraved using the Lichtenburg burning method, these panels are a labour of love and infused with lightning that never strikes the same way twice - each one is unique. Only 35 units available.

The side panels are made from a selection of woods, handpicked by our artisan craftsman – cherry, walnut, ash, teak, sapele, maple and padouk are featured in various combinations creating a unique infusion of character for each pair of panels with a premium lacquer finish to bring out the characteristic grain of each wood. 

The engraved pattern is achieved with the Lichtenburg burning method. This technique, named after the physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, involves applying high-voltage electricity to the surface of the wood, resulting in patterns reminiscent of lightning strikes. The method has gained notoriety due to numerous incidents of death and severe injury when people have attempted it at home, with at least 33 people having died between 2017 and 2022. The engraved side panels for the Pērkons HD-01 have been hand-made by Sandis Vāgners in the deep woods of Latvia. To prevent his certain death during the engraving process, Erica Synths developed a special emergency power cut circuit.
