Olivier Kuntzel and Florence Deygas, or Kuntzel+Deygas as they are better known, are a duo of artists who live and work in Paris, best known for their characters “Caperino & Peperone” created for cult store colette, Paris… some might say they are best known for the title sequence of the Spielberg film ‘Catch me if You Can‘ but I prefer Cap+Pep. The duo have been working together since 1990 and have become internationally recognised for their work, being commissioned by Blue Chip giants such as American Express, Lacoste and Nokia to name a few.
But recently the duo launched a new website dedicated to a long-lost character that saw an exhibition at colette in 2001 entitled ‘House of MiCha’ where they were showing four different versions of their charming character: sit, walk, round back and Baby Mi-Cha sitting. A limited edition of 50 pieces were produced and never to be seen again… until now.
houseofmicha.com is a new e-boutique dedicated to their collection of four MiCha pet lamps available exclusively for online subscribers in a limited run of 250, signed and numbered by the artists. Watch their specially created film for the launch of the lamps…
