A tiger, a sunrise and a moment worth keeping
Some designs seem to transport you somewhere else entirely. The Archivist Sunrise Tiger Matches from the Square Collection capture that feeling beautifully. The artwork depicts a majestic tiger standing proudly before a rising sun, gazing across a landscape bathed in warm morning light. Inspired by vintage printmaking and classic travel illustrations, the design blends nostalgia, adventure and quiet confidence. It feels timeless, as though it could have been discovered in an old archive or collected during a faraway journey. Measuring 11 x 11 x 3 cm and containing 125 extra-long matches measuring 10 cm each, this generously sized matchbox offers both practical function and decorative appeal. Whether used to light a candle or displayed on a shelf, it brings character to everyday spaces.
Small rituals deserve beautiful details
The objects we reach for every day help shape the atmosphere of our homes. Lighting a candle at dusk, preparing a room for guests or creating a moment of calm after a busy day often begins with a simple match. The Sunrise Tiger matchbox elevates that ritual through thoughtful design and artistic detail. Its vintage-inspired illustration transforms an everyday necessity into something worth displaying, while the generous Square format allows the artwork to take centre stage. Styled alongside candles, books or decorative objects, it becomes a subtle yet memorable feature within the home.
