It takes a special kind of floor lamp to pass the test here at Firebox. In fact the very phrase 'floor lamp' is so incredibly dull we almost passed on the Matchlight before seeing it. Then one of our product scouts walked in with one and we were immediately smitten - primarily because it was almost as big as him!

Bringing a whole new meaning to the term 'got a light?' this humungous floor lamp looks just like a regular matchstick. But don't try finding a huge box to strike it on because the seriously stylish Matchlight is electrically powered. Which is just as wellsince you'd need hands like King Kong's bigger brother to light anything this big.



Standing a mighty 4’11" , the stunningly original Matchlight is perfect for illuminating any room where space is tight. Simply lean it against the wall at an attractive angle and watch as guests gape in awe at its svelte lines and smooth wooden stem. You can even choose between a red or white tip depending on the vibe you're after.

We've lost count of the visitors to Firebox HQ who've commented on the Matchlight currently standing in our reception area. And that's saying something considering the entire area is filled with primo gadgets and gizmos. Still it's not every day you see a giant match doubling up as a trendy floor lamp.



Indeed the Matchlight looks like it has just escaped from some cutting-edge museum of modern art, even when it's not turned on. We guarantee friends will race to your place when you invite them around to see the big match. (Although they might be a bit steamed when they realize it's got nothing to do with football).


Just imagine, with this towering triumph of design sitting in your home or office you'll never suffer from BFLC (boring floor lamp complex) again. Now if only they made a giant cigar to go with it.
