THE COMPLETE COMPOSITORY OF VINTAGE MATCHBOOKS
A complete compendium of vintage matchbooks archived and housed in a unique book structure representative of a basic matchbook.
This swatch-book is a collection of well designed ephemeral works from America’s past time. It highlights the characteristics of each matchbook; colors, typeface, grid structure and manufacturing.
Year Completed: 2021
The Goal
To highlight how stationary objects (matchbooks) were designed in the early 20th century. Styles, aesthetics, functionality, wit, character, principles and company representation were all aspects of design that I wanted to recognize through out this printed swatch-book.
Applications
A swatch-book with photographs of vintage matchbooks. These are then displayed in a thoroughly grid structure that enables a clear and easy user flow.
