The Initial lighter proudly displays its affiliation with the revolutionary model that was created by S.T. Dupont in 1941, for a special commission from the Maharaja of Patiala, who was known as “The Magnificent”. This entirely modern new model has been inspired by the timeless style of its celebrated predecessor, which went on to become a reference for S.T. Dupont aficionados.
This year, to honor the 50th anniversary of Picasso's death and the 25th anniversary of collaboration with S.T.Dupont, the House wished to once again pay tribute to the painter by creating a collection as splendid as it is original, based on his famous "Portrait of Jacqueline with Straw Hat" created in 1962.
The 'Portrait of Jacqueline with the Straw Hat' is a color linocut printed in yellow, red, green and black on Arches paper, and printed in an edition of 50. The limited edition is intended to be rich, mischievous, optimistic and colorful, like the drawing.
