Cantermelon phone chains are for people who love practical objects designed beautifully. Inspired by the phone chain designs out of Paris, Cantermelon brings an Aotearoan twist to each design, with many of our pieces made locally.

Like the Renaissance patrons who understood that luxury should serve a greater purpose, we're creating a world where commerce and culture collaborate. Every Cantermelon purchase supports independent publishing initiatives in Aoteaora.

My heart is a metal coin slot for your love.

For a limited time only, 

vintage tinged memories will play

like pinballs; their cheerful dings ringing

damply in this dark, lint-filled corner

of your mind-arcade

like bobbing for love in a heart barrel-

I can’t stand it

just use your hands!

Ride your ghost train 

through the corny nostalgia of my heart,

rip me apart in small pink tufts 

to melt upon your tongue.

Bring your mallet down upon me 

and make my bell clang!

Sophistication is for the lonely-hearted.
