S.T. Dupont x Orlinski: The Meeting of Contemporary Art and Exceptional Craftsmanship

The S.T. Dupont x Richard Orlinski collaboration embodies the meeting of contemporary art and French luxury craftsmanship. Through an exclusive collection of iconic lighters and writing instruments, the powerful and colourful world of renowned sculptor Richard Orlinski enters into dialogue with the century-old expertise of the House of S.T. Dupont.

Inspired by the emblematic “Born Wild” series and the famous Kong sculpture, this collection reinterprets the House’s icons as genuine contemporary works of art.

A collaboration between raw power and timeless elegance

One of the world’s best-selling contemporary French artists, Richard Orlinski is known for his animal sculptures, defined by angular lines and vibrant energy. His famous Kong, a symbol of power and instinct, becomes the central element of this collaboration.

With S.T. Dupont, a House founded in 1872, this artistic universe meets unique artisanal expertise, shaped by more than 150 years of excellence in goldsmithing, lacquerwork and mechanical precision.

S.T. Dupont icons reimagined by Richard Orlinski

This collection revisits several of the House’s emblematic creations: the Ligne 2 lighter, an absolute icon of S.T. Dupont, the Line D Eternity pen, the Biggy and Slimmy lighters, and the Initial ballpoint pen.

Each piece is transformed into an object of art, incorporating the artist’s visual codes and his powerful graphic language.

A bold collection combining colour and precious metal

A tribute to Richard Orlinski’s artistic signature, the collection highlights vibrant colours and sophisticated finishes.

A Red line pays tribute in particular to the artist’s iconic red. For the first time, S.T. Dupont introduces a brushed gold finish, paired with a Kong motif in metal inlay on the Ligne 2 lighter.

The palladium and gold versions reveal the full extent of the House’s craftsmanship through brushed, sandblasted and polished textures that play with light and depth.

When pop art meets artisanal excellence

Designs inspired by Orlinski’s Kong also appear on the Biggy and Slimmy lighters, as well as the Initial ballpoint pen, in chrome finishes enhanced with orange or blue lacquer.

Each creation thus becomes a unique piece, at the crossroads of contemporary art, design and luxury.

An iconic collection for lovers of art and luxury

With this collaboration, S.T. Dupont and Richard Orlinski have created a collection that celebrates both the raw power of art and the precision of traditional craftsmanship.

Far more than accessories, these lighters and pens become collectors’ items, embodying the perfect alliance of artistic innovation and artisanal heritage.
