The Kuntzel + Deygas tandem is part of the discrete aristocracy of French visual creators whose work is known by the entire world: the opening credits to Steven Spielberg’s Catch me if you can, the iconic La Petite Robe Noire Guerlain character, the MiCha Lamp and the two existential Italian dogs Cap & Pep whose adventures livened up the days of Colette and Vogue Japan. Since 1988 Olivier Kuntzel and Florence Deygas have created characters and objects who live adventures in different worlds: cinema, fashion, luxury and music.

Describing their approach when creating characters, Kuntzel and Deygas remind us that the word “character” also refers to typography, where the assembly of marks, symbols and letters (all characters) are used to convey meaning.

Kuntzel + Deygas invented their very own vocabulary, claiming the simplicity of drawing paired with high technology, luxurious hybridisation at the service of emotion. “Organic creation enhanced by sophisticated technology. Our aim is to make sure we never spoil the charm and innate power of the sketch.
