The French art de vivre art of life has always evoked the
spirit, the refinement and luxury that is present in the French culture. In 1864 Transatlantic General Company, also called the French Line, embodied that
unique art de vivre, transporting the elite on its majestic ocean liners. Thanks to these magnificent steamers, French artists and master craftsmen
became famous abroad.
S.T. Dupont pays tribute to those legendary liners with the creation of the French Line Limited Edition. The unique
architecture of these ships was taken as the starting point for this collection. The brushed-steel plates on the lighters as well as the anthracite metal
body of the pens evoke the impressive hulls. The rivets and the grids in relief are reminiscent of the banisters, the rails and the bridges of the
steamers.
In reference to the founding date of the French Line, only 1,864 pieces of each writing instrument of the French Line Limited Edition
are available worldwide.
