The
French Art de Vivre has always been a source of fantasy. It evokes the
spirit, the refinement and the luxury of French culture. In 1864 a new
transatlantic liaison, the Transatlantic General Company, also called
French Line, embodying that unique Art de Vivre, transported the elite
on its majestic ocean-liners linking Europe to the New World.
In
testimony of the French Art of Travelling, S.T.Dupont has created this
Limited Edition which pays tribute to these legendary liners. For this
Limited Edition, S.T.Dupont took as a starting point the unique
architecture of these ships. 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. This Limited
Edition is composed of two lighters, a Ligne 2 and a Gatsby Size, of
three Large Olympio pens, fountain pen, roller and ballpoint pen.
