René Magritte’s paintings of clouds, hats, pipes and apples are among the most recognisable images of surrealism. Renowned for his deadpan, realist style, the Belgian artist transformed the everyday into the extraordinary, and Magritte is the first Australian retrospective of his incredible oeuvre.

Designed in collaboration with the Magritte Estate, this custom-made box of matches features detail of Magritte’s iconic 1929 artwork The false mirror (Le faux miroir). Pair with Maison Balzac’s La Fumee candle or incense for an extraordinary sensory experience.
