MATCHBOOK BOOK: THE ARCHIVE KEEPING A LOST DESIGN LEGACY ALIGHT

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

A new book by CentreCentre showcases a large collection of British-branded matchbooks from 1970 to 1990, highlighting how these small promotional items once captured everyday life, graphic design trends, and social habits of the era. Drawn from archivist Billy Woods' inherited collection, the book preserves these disappearing pieces of print ephemera as cultural and design artifacts.
