At the beginning of the 1960's, Pablo Picasso chose three S.T. Dupont lighters to use in his art.
In the Chinese lacquer surfaces, he engraved a Harlequin on one lighter and a Pierrot figure on another,
as gifts for his son and daughter-in-law.
Today, these lighters are part of the personal collection of Mrs Ruiz-Picasso. On the third lighter,
which he gave to a friend, he engraved a faun, a recurring motif in Picasso's work which is often
considered to be a form of self-portrait.
S.T. Dupont is proud that its objects were chose by such a prestigious artists and, to
commemorate the occasion, has created the limited edition "faun" lighter.
This exceptional limited collection consists of:
6,000 pocket lighters,
500 table lighters,
500 "secret" carriage clocks.
