Tenn Prairie makes just one thing: match holders. But let me tell you, these match holders are perfect. Husband-and-wife team Klanci and Evan Gauthier make these small concrete containers at their home, and the designs are intentionally simple. The holders are small enough to stay out of the way on a cluttered desk — I have the original octagonal shape that is about 2-by-2 inches — but stylish enough to give that mess of yours a little flair. What’s more, Tenn Prairie sells matchstick refills in a variety of colors — pink, black, green, yellow, orange, rainbow — so you can match (haha) your matches to your container, or go for a complimentary color. And OK, I lied — Tenn Prairie makes candles too, but just three different scents. Nothing wild. There’s something to be said for keeping things simple and doing them right.
