Robert Filliou
A New Way to Blow Out Matches
Malmö, Sweden: Adlers Editions, 1980
7.3 x 10.7 x 4.8 cm.

Published by Bengt Adlers, Une nouvelle façon d'éteindre les allumettes, is a wooden box with a printed label containing a weighted spinning toy and a box of matches. The match affixes into the toy, becoming its handle.
The prototype was conceived of eighteen years prior, in 1962, as a toy for Filliou's then-seven year old son Bruce.
The instructions read:
1. Light the match
2. Snap to the top in motion
