Designed in 2011 for exhibition at Tom Dixon during the London Design Festival, The Maudslay Walker Batchstick is an industrial wax sealing tool.
Designed in response to a brief entitled 'Tools for Daily Life', in a digital world where our daily tools have become emails, texts and tweets. The Batchstick is the revival of the written document.
Each steel canister contains multiple sticks; friction matches encased in a sleeve of sealing wax. Each match contains enough wax to seal one envelope and can be struck on the steel shaft, dripped, stamped then discarded.
