HOME – Limited Edition Coffee Table Box with Matches

Regular price $55.00

You are fire.
Dressed in fire.
Which of these fires can I withstand?

– Sayat Nova (18th century)

We were tired of searching for a matchbox each time we wanted to light a candle or burn incense papers. So, we designed a limited edition box with matches that you will want to proudly display, instead of hide away in a drawer.

Everything about this box is a QAMI JAN vibe. From its gold-accented emblem to its mulberry wax trim, to its soft magnetic closure, and inside, a paper lining that looks like Armenian rugs but is based on ancient manuscript paintings, along with 120 long slow-burning matches with gold handles in the Armenian flag tricolor (red, blue, orange). Draped in infinity symbols and the words of the Armenian troubadour Sayat Nova (1712-1795): "you are fire, dressed in fire." Who knew a matchbox could be all of these things?

This box will outlive its matches. Refill with new matches, and use to store your incense papers, sewing needles, buttons, dreams, or anything else. It is a work of art.

Warning
