Creative Director of S.T. Dupont from January 2012 for 10 years, Stéphane joined the company in 2001 as a product designer, contributing to the creation of all product categories (lighters, pens, leather goods & limited editions). He became a member of the S.T. Dupont Executive Committee in January 2017. After graduating from the French design school ENSAAMA Olivier de Serres, he began his career in 1997 working for global design agencies. His work ranged from product design to concept stores, advertising campaigns, and packaging. He has always adapted his creativity to a wide variety of fields. These professional experiences, mostly in the luxury sector, have given him a 360° vision of a product launch — from the very first sketch to the end customer. When it comes to creative inspiration, he defines himself as a “chameleon designer.” He enjoys pushing his creativity through new products and innovations, exploring new worlds, and consistently bringing freshness while telling powerful stories with his creations. In 2022, by creating SMART, Stéphane now offers his expertise to bold brands seeking to rejuvenate, define their identity, and design new products. resume
