A touch of nostalgia and a spark of atmosphere
Some designs feel as though they already have stories to tell. The Archivist Cigar Matches capture exactly that feeling. Inspired by historic packaging and classic advertising graphics, the artwork features a stylised cigar framed by bold typography and striking colours. Rich shades of red, yellow, black and white create a distinctive vintage aesthetic that feels rooted in traditional printmaking while remaining effortlessly contemporary.
Part of the Square Collection, this decorative matchbox measures 11 x 11 x 3 cm and contains 125 premium matches, each 10 cm long. The vibrant red match heads complement the artwork beautifully, ensuring the box remains visually appealing even when open. Whether displayed beside a scented candle, placed on a side table or styled amongst carefully chosen home accessories, these Archivist Matches bring both practicality and personality into the home.
For moments worth slowing down for
The most memorable rituals are often the simplest. Lighting a candle in the evening, enjoying a lantern outdoors or settling in with a favourite book. These long matches make those moments easy and enjoyable, while the beautifully designed box deserves to remain on display rather than hidden away.
The artwork is defined by graphic clarity and nostalgic charm. It recalls the golden age of classic packaging design without ever feeling dated. As a result, the matchbox becomes more than a practical object; it becomes a decorative detail that adds character and individuality to a room.
