Monolith Match Holder and Striker
Best artisanal accent for design-conscious candle and incense enthusiasts.
Rooted in the quiet beauty of raw clay and soft form, the Monolith Match Holders and Strikers are sculpted entirely by hand, each one a small gesture of presence and permanence. Designed to cradle strike anywhere matches, their organic silhouettes echo the great mesas and monoliths of the desert, at a small scale fit for interior surfaces. Every part of the surface is strik-eable, for a moment of raw chemistry, mimicking the light, acrid sting of desert air. Each piece is handmade in Brooklyn; subtle variations in form are part of their character.

Know before you buy
Yes, this piece is specifically designed for 'strike-anywhere' matches. Standard safety matches will not ignite on the raw clay surface.
Yes, the entire exterior surface is textured and formulated to act as a striking surface, allowing you to light a match from any angle.
Because each Monolith is sculpted by hand in Brooklyn, you should expect subtle variations in shape and texture. These unique characteristics are intentional and part of the raw clay's natural appeal.
The raw clay may develop light scuffs or marks from the match heads over time. You can gently wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove any loose residue.
The holder is crafted from raw clay, which is durable but can chip or crack if dropped on a hard surface. It is best treated as a decorative object that requires the same care as other fine ceramic or stoneware pieces.
