ST Dupont presents its new collection

Accessories

The architecture and fine jewelry join forces to give rise to a collection of unique pieces of hand artist and jeweler Philippe Tournaire, where the distinction, elegance and luxury enicma conspicuous by all. Unique objects, worthy of the best collector.

Inspired by the Paris Catacombs and its double symbolism, Tournaire designed with ST Dupont a limited edition piece with 66 undidades made in bronze, dedicated on the more "underground" French architecture. The jeweler has chosen to revisit the Olympio fountain pen and a lighter line 2, plus an ashtray, cigar cutter and a twin, decorated with skulls and grapes, a symbol of vanity. "These earthly vanities should not obscure the fact that life on Earth is but a fleeting visit," said the jeweler.

The vine is also used as an element in the ashtray, not only because "wine is an earthly pleasure", but also because the only vineyard in Montmartre Paris is one of the entries to the Catacombs.

Philippe Tournaire has 40 years creating pieces that combine architecture with fine jewelry. The French artist has always had a passion for civilization and its people, and uses the theme of architecture as the definitive mark left on history in the broadest sense of the word. His designs also illustrate the paradox between the transience of life and longevity and durability of the architecture. Time has also been much in the development of the parts. The shape, engraving, finishing and glazing "require work over 70 hours," Tournaire itself acknowledges.

Founded in 1872 by Simon Tissot-Dupont, S.T. Dupont is one of the most prestigious luxury brands in the world. Famous for their lighters and pens, made from quality materials by craftsmen and a range of objects in writing, smoking accessories, leather goods, etc., Who have conquered the world's most powerful people, as well as aesthetes and lovers of craftsmanship.
