Iconic mid-century graphic art, scaled to the palm of your hand.

Produced by Archivist Gallery in collaboration with Girard Studio, this square matchbox honors the lasting legacy of mid-century master Alexander Girard, whose work is represented in MoMA’s collection. Renowned for his fearless use of color and playful symbols, Girard believed that functional household items should be a joy to look at. Each box is beautifully letterpress-printed in the UK on heavily textured board, transforming a humble utility into a miniature work of art. They make an easy, thoughtful gift or a vibrant addition to any coffee table, mantel, or nightstand.

Features of the Alexander Girard Matchboxes include:

  • Authentic Girard Artwork: Features joyful, timeless motifs from the historic Alexander Girard archives.
  • Tactile Letterpress Printing: Crafted in the UK on vintage presses using premium, textured board for a high-quality finish.
  • Oversized Safety Matches: Includes 125 extra-long matchsticks, perfect for lighting candles or fireplaces.
  • Sustainably Sourced: Made with wood from FSC-certified forests and packaged in compostable wrapping.
  • Choose from traditional or house-shaped matchbox, each sold separately
