Colour Wheel Matches in Tin

These Colour Wheel Matches in Tin are housed in a reusable sliding lid tin featuring Philipp Otto Runge’s historic colour wheel — one of the earliest attempts to organise colour theory into a harmonious visual system. Created in the early 1800s by the German painter and theorist, Runge’s pioneering study explored the relationships between colour, light, and perception, influencing generations of artists and designers that followed.

Containing 100 safety matches with multi-colour tips, each tin features striker paper housed within a custom brass holder on the front, combining everyday practicality with timeless decorative design. The sliding lid construction adds a tactile vintage feel, while the reusable tin is designed to be refilled and enjoyed long after the matches are gone. A cheerful addition to desks, coffee tables, and creative spaces, it also makes a thoughtful gift for artists, designers, and colour lovers alike.
