Proof that even lions don't always get the last word
Some designs make you pause. Others make you smile. The Archivist Big Cat, Little Cat Matches from the Square Collection manage to do both. Featuring an imaginative illustration by celebrated British artist Charlotte Farmer, the design captures an unexpected meeting between a magnificent lion and a fearless little cat. Suspended between them are two playful juggling balls, hinting at a story that remains delightfully open to interpretation. It's colourful, curious and wonderfully full of character.
Bold shades of pink, turquoise, yellow and black give the artwork its lively presence, while the vintage-inspired composition adds a touch of nostalgic charm. Measuring 11 x 11 x 3 cm, the square matchbox contains 125 premium matches, each 10 cm long. The white match heads provide a subtle finishing touch and complement the playful illustration beautifully. Whether used for lighting candles, lanterns or fireplaces, these matches bring a little creativity to everyday rituals.
A small stage for everyday moments
The most memorable interiors often include pieces that spark curiosity. The Big Cat, Little Cat matchbox does exactly that. Displayed beside a candle, stacked among books or placed on a coffee table, it adds colour and personality without taking itself too seriously.
Its playful narrative encourages a second look, making it feel more like a miniature artwork than a simple household accessory. Functional, decorative and unexpectedly charming, it effortlessly bridges the gap between usefulness and creativity.

Every great story begins with a spark
The Archivist Big Cat, Little Cat Matches pair beautifully with scented candles, candle holders and curated home accessories. Their cheerful colour palette and playful illustration bring warmth, humour and individuality to any setting.
Perhaps that's what makes them so memorable. They don't simply light a candle. They start conversations, inspire smiles and remind us that everyday objects can still contain a little magic. Sometimes all it takes is a lion, a cat and a single spark.
