Details

The Gonçalves Chama de Modivas match tin is designed as a permanent domestic object - not a disposable accessory.

Crafted from durable metal with a hinged lid and integrated striker, this substantial tin is built to hold up to 200 extra-long 9cm matches, offering a longevity-first approach to an item used every day, matches. Its weight, scale, and proportions ensure it sits with intention - on dining tables, patio surfaces, shelves, or hearths - without being easily misplaced, discarded, or forgotten.

Unlike traditional cardboard matchboxes, this is a piece made to remain. The hinged lid ensures nothing is lost. The generous capacity reduces frequent replacement. The form is balanced and architectural - neither delicate nor ornamental - designed to feel at home in both modern and traditional interiors.

Rooted in Portuguese material culture and restraint, each tin doubles as a functional object and a quiet decorative statement. Over time, it becomes familiar - part of the home rather than a temporary utility.

Frequently asked questions
What makes this different from a standard matchbox?

Our tins are designed as permanent domestic objects. Made from durable metal, they hold up to 200 extra-long matches, feature a hinged lid with an integrated striker, and are intended to be refilled rather than replaced. Our matchbox tins go beyond single-use cardboard matchboxes.
Is the tin meant to be left on display?

Yes. Each tin is designed with deliberate scale and weight so it sits comfortably on tables, shelves, or outdoor surfaces. It is intended to be visible and used daily.
How long does a full tin typically last?

This depends on use, but a capacity of 200 long matches significantly reduces the frequency of replacement. The aim is longevity - fewer refills over a longer period of time.
Can the matches and striker be replaced?

Yes. Matches are available in refill quantities, and the striker surface can be renewed using self-adhesive striker refills. The object itself is designed to remain.
Is this suitable as a gift?

Yes. Fire is used in many everyday settings; from lighting candles indoors to use on patios, terraces, or around the home. The tin’s neutral, architectural design and long-lasting format make it a considered gift that suits a wide range of spaces, uses, and recipients.

Made to be refilled, not replaced. Designed to be seen, not hidden. Built to last, not to impress quickly.
