The creative agency Leo Burnett Canada designed a match box with a unique set of matches inside it, designing them in such a way that they can be used for different functions.

Most people are familiar with the frustrations of lighting a candle that is nearing its last breath, with fingers or hands often getting in the way of being able to do so. The Leo Burnett match box aims to resolve that issue. The product comes in a long, rectangular slide-out box that opens up to reveal four different match lengths. These matches can be used to light candles that are new, as well as those that are almost finished.

This creative and functional product alleviates a small but persistent issue in the home.
