Allumettes + Nicole Bustamante Collaboration
I was invited to collaborate once again with Allumettes on a new collection of illustrated matchboxes. Each piece was developed around short, affirmative messages such as “May the happy days be longer”, “The Universe is always listening”, and “Good things happen here.” The intention was to create objects that feel warm and emotionally resonant. Small, tactile pieces that carry a sense of quiet optimism. Visually, the collection leans into vintage references, combining Victorian-inspired typography with delicate, symbolic illustrations to evoke something timeless and slightly nostalgic. A special Christmas edition box was also developed as part of the series. Photography: Diego Rodrigues Illustration and Design: Nicole Bustamante
