MATCHBOX _ Cuckoo clocks for those who love collecting matchboxes.

The cuckoo is a notoriously lazy bird that uses other people's nests instead of building its own. Today it has found a new home in an old Swedish matchbox, and between one hour and the next it amuses itself by swinging the last remaining match.

For many years, Swedish matchboxes have been an ideal medium for the rapid dissemination of information. Political events, wars, attacks, catastrophes, births and marriages of rulers, and scientific discoveries are just some of the themes illustrated on these boxes.

Designer Marco Bedognetti reinterprets the matchbox for a new collection of cuckoo clocks, "MATCHBOX". Artist Nicole Da Porto, inspired by circus advertisements, has created four graphic themes: the "PirondiniS Circus".
