Wooden Matches Block of 100 by Fitzsu

WOODEN-MATCHES-BLOCK-DP12-LX-500--1-1

Wooden matches cube designed by Fitzsu Society.  Such a great design with a super 70s color theme and Bauhaus aesthetic.  I love that the package and the matches are self contained.

"Fitzsu is all about elevating your everyday experience by offering
accessories that are destined to evoke wonder and spirit. Practitioners
of their long-felt philosophy that our minute-to-minute lives are
improved by the things with which we surround ourselves, Su Sazama and
Fitz travel the globe to find 21st century designs that create the
modern experience.

The modern experience is one that creates a
sense of harmony in our busy lives, reducing stress and creating
enjoyment wherever possible.  A sense of tranquility and reduction of
clutter in our private lives balance the stresses and overstimulation
we get in our outer worlds.  Friends are invited over to share the
special quality of life that you create. As a new adventure, we seek to
be transformed by our friends.

It is the careful philosophies of
modern designers that enable us to create our unique modern experience
through the use of their products. Fitz and Su have developed a
sensitivity to what is evocative and functional design through their
own lives by experimentation and education. They have traveled and met
with designers of the highest caliber and manufacturers of the highest
quality. They have designed homes and interiors in development of their
philosophy and entertain in modern style. In an effort to always be
learning how to enjoy life more, Fitz and Su share their findings with
you on this website and in two store location in Los Angeles and
Pasadena, California."

That's a really creative way to both waste space and natural resources at the same time. Love it. Go humans.

I hate people (You, as in "Me") who can't let other people have opinions... maybe you need to get a grip on life as well? Or a job?

Cool design, but yeah a waste of space... and natural resources!

Tell me, what is the point of this thing? Does it do anything? Does it solve some common problem for humanity? Unless this is going to be used to light a very large candle, get rid of it.
I retract my previous comment (the guy who didnt make this stupid thing), as I didn't realize that these are actually to be used as matches--so this is moderately cool I suppose. However, I think I will stick with the boxes of like...1000 for 50 cents.
Looks great but not very practical (nor resourceful)

Well, I'm not sure what the "point" of almost all art is, but I don't hear anyone clamoring to end all of that pointless, useless, non-utilitarian use of natural resources. Just think of all that canvas that could have gone to making potato sacks.

It's called art. Get over it.

Engineering nightmare, by the time your to the middle of the block all the pieces from the previous sticks stop you from getting a full length match off this thing.

I foresee many a burnt finger. But then I consider the practicality of it, and realize it probably wont be used by many anyhow.

I'll bet it's freaking cool to see a whole block lite up at once though!

I agree whole-heartedly with Billy... I couldn't believe you "waste of space and resources" crowd. Seriously, you have no soul whatsoever and need to hie your ass/donkey on over to the nearest museum post-haste and nourish your brain and spirit before they wither up and die.

idk what the heck everyone here is talking about, this is awesome. Also it'd be awesome to light all of them at the same time
March 19, 2009 | Unregistered Commenternone@none.com
You know what'd be cool? Using one of the matches to light all the other ones. A little hazard I see in there, but who cares about that..

I pee on myself for enjoyment.

Interesting design concept. But then again, after you've used up all the matches what happens next? I enjoyed reading this, and the comments as well, thanks for posting!
