Matches Mermaid

Product information "Matches Mermaid"

Where candlelight meets a little sea magic

Anyone claiming mermaids do not exist has probably never come across this matchbox. The Archivist Mermaid Matches from the Square collection bring a playful sense of imagination into everyday life and celebrate the kind of stories that never really grow old. Designed by The Printed Peanut, the artwork features a striking red-haired mermaid drifting across vibrant blue waters, surrounded by colourful details and vintage-inspired charm. Bold shades of blue, red, yellow and orange create an eye-catching composition that feels joyful, nostalgic and wonderfully unique. Measuring 11 x 11 x 3 cm and filled with 125 luxury matches, each 10 cm long, this decorative matchbox transforms an everyday essential into a piece of design worth displaying.

A little trip to the seaside, no packing required

Sometimes the smallest objects have the biggest impact on a room. A lit candle, the glow of a lantern or a beautifully designed matchbox can instantly change the atmosphere. The Archivist Mermaid Matches are made for exactly those moments. Their extra-long format makes them ideal for lighting candles, fireplaces, lanterns and oil burners, while the colourful box adds character wherever it is placed. Rather than hiding it away in a drawer, it naturally becomes part of your décor, bringing a touch of coastal charm and playful storytelling to everyday spaces.

British design with imagination at its heart

Since 1996, Archivist has earned a reputation for creating some of Britain's most distinctive luxury matches and letterpress-inspired products. Working closely with artists and illustrators from around the world, the family-owned company combines craftsmanship, creativity and quality in every collection. The collaboration with The Printed Peanut perfectly captures this spirit. Full of humour, colour and personality, the design reflects Archivist's love of artwork that sparks conversation and brightens everyday life. Alongside beautiful design, the brand remains committed to responsible production, quality materials and products created to be enjoyed for years to come.

For those who still believe in little wonders

The Archivist Mermaid Matchbox is far more than a practical household accessory. It is a decorative accent, a thoughtful gift and a celebration of imagination. Paired with scented candles, lanterns or carefully chosen home accessories, it brings colour, warmth and personality to any room. The cheerful mermaid illustration serves as a gentle reminder that home is not only a place. Sometimes it is a feeling. And occasionally, that feeling comes with a tail.
