Introducing The Archivist x Natural History Museum Matchbox Collection – A Tribute to Our Origins
At Archivist, our journey began deep in the archives of the Natural History Museum in 1998, where we found inspiration in the timeless beauty of history and design. As we step into 2025, we are thrilled to celebrate this pivotal part of our story by unveiling a brand-new collection of matchbox designs, created in collaboration with the Natural History Museum. This exquisite collection pays homage to the artistry, science, and wonder found in natural history’s most treasured specimens.
One of the standout designs in this collection is inspired by the extraordinary works of French mineralogist François Louis Swebach Desfontaines (1749–1793). His breathtaking watercolour illustrations of mineral specimens, meticulously arranged in boxwork cabinets, captured the intricate beauty of the natural world. His legacy lives on in this matchbox design, a fusion of art and science that brings a touch of history into modern homes.
