A striking S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 lighter from the “Art & Technique” limited edition series, featuring a bold geometric design in black, red and white lacquer panels set against a palladium-finished body. The modernist composition and layered construction create a strong architectural aesthetic, beautifully contrasted by the precision-engineered Ligne 2 mechanism and its signature resonant “ping” on opening.

The base is engraved “S.T. Dupont – Paris – Made in France – Laque de Chine” and numbered 0415/2000, confirming this as part of a limited production of 2,000 pieces. A refined collector’s piece that perfectly blends technical mastery with artistic design. Complete with its original Art & Technique presentation box and accompanying booklet.

Founded in Paris in 1872 by Simon Tissot-Dupont, S.T. Dupont began as a maker of fine leather goods before expanding into writing instruments and luxury lighters in the mid-20th century. The Ligne 2, introduced in the 1970s, quickly became the brand’s flagship, renowned for its distinctive aesthetic, high-quality precious metals, and refined lacquer finishes. Each lighter is hand-assembled and rigorously tested, reflecting Dupont’s enduring commitment to artisanal excellence and innovation. Today, S.T. Dupont continues to set the standard for luxury accessories, blending heritage techniques with contemporary design.

Condition: very good vintage condition. Light surface wear and small marks consistent with careful use, particularly to the palladium finish and edges. Lacquer panels remain vibrant and intact. Please refer to photographs. NB. although sold without warranty the lighter has been serviced and checked that it is in good working order.
