Description:
Original vintage Finnish matchbook sleeve advertising Hotelli Seurahuone in Jyväskylä. Features a bold, graphic modernist design with abstract architectural lines and sharp contrast, very typical of mid-century Scandinavian hotel branding.

Seurahuone hotels were traditional centres of social life, business meetings, and formal hospitality in Finnish cities — the kind of place for conferences, dinners, and late-night brandies. This example includes full period address and telephone exchange details, grounding it firmly in the pre-digital era.

A clean, design-led piece of Nordic hotel ephemera with strong visual impact.

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Light age-related handling wear only. No tears or damage. Strong contrast and crisp print.
