Curionoir

Quickly lit, our new perfumed matches are their own little experience, transforming a room’s ambience and aroma in a lightning flash. The matches are dipped in four of our fragrances: Pablo, Tubereuse Noir, Dark Bouquet and Purotu Rose. Now in a new form, our perfumed matches offer a new way to experience these Curinoir favourites, which will linger in the air alongside the smell of charred little matchsticks.

Orange and purple tips, slender wooden sticks, deliciously coated in scent and kept in their own embossed and foiled boxes, this is the perfect gift. Each of our match boxes is decorated with illustrations by artist extraordinaire, our very own, Prairie Hatchard-McGill. Available for purchase in-store.

The new perfumed matches…While the candle and match are obvious bedfellows, etymologically linked, with the word match deriving from the old French mèche, meaning the wick of a candle, burning matches in their own right has long been used to sanitise and neutralise household odours, particularly before the advent of aerosol sprays.

Doused in fragrance, we now offer another way to elegantly light our candles, a chance to draw out the curio ritual and experience further still. The perfumed matches are now available in store 🔥

Jacob Coutie’s clothing production is a testament to his commitment to sustainable environmental practice. The textiles used to make his pieces are sourced from found and recycled materials, giving new life to discarded garments. This sustainable practice is not only about reducing waste, which the textiles industry produces at record levels, but also about infusing each piece with a unique history and character.

Drawing on traditional shapes and tailoring, J’AKE Studios shares our adoration for craftsmanship. These classically modern silhouettes felt like the perfect dress to usher in our new Sakura bottles.

This complementary pairing, between our new Sakura bottles and Coutie’s garments, reflects a shared design ethos. Like Curionoir, Coutie blends the traditional values of te ao Māori with contemporary design aesthetics, a design practice that stresses sustainability and is sensitive to whakapapa. Each of Coutie’s pieces is made with care, respect, and manākitanga, to encourage their use for years on end.

Our new Sakura Bottles have arrived in voluptuous, bulbous shapes. Inspired by the blossoms of the Sakura tree, these new white porcelain heirloom bottles have taken exaggerated forms, some resembling buds on the verge of flowering.

Over the week, we invite you to view the bottles, photographed here by Apela Bell, with twin models Han Hoheisel and Jin Hoheisel. Han and Jin, from 62 Models, are dressed by the local brand J’AKE Studios, founded by Māori fashion designer Jacob Coutie, from Kirikiriroa (Hamilton).
