Where new design goes to blossom and lost design goes to live again.

Inside these matchbooks is a fantasy. A fantasy in blue and white. Opened, stripped, and penned in by designer Madeleine Stahel from Zürich. In each one of these books you’ll find a new lovely vision of the future, the past, old friends long gone. Yoda’s not present though. Maybe in spirit. Devour their oddity, then keep your own books after you’ve fired up all your matches for furtherance of this super project.

Madeleine Stahel . Grafik . Schöneggstrasse 5 / 2. OG . 8004 Zürich. This project is called “Documentation of a failure”, I’m sure you’ll see why upon glancing at the very first book. It is an enjoyable, healthy, and important thing to do the same thing over and over again when you’re in this graphics field. It’s research, even when it’s a formula so simple as matchbook, pen, ink, strangeness from the inner workings of the outer spaces of the mind.
