  • About the Delahaye 135S : French elegance at full speed

    Launched in 1935, the Delahaye 135S embodied French automotive refinement combined with performance.

    Designed for competition, it was equipped with a 6-cylinder 3.6-litre engine that took it to speeds of over 180 km/h - a feat for its time. A true work of engineering, it is distinguished by its emblematic curved wings, often dressed up by the greatest coachbuilders such as Figoni & Falaschi or Chapron.

    Competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Brooklands and Spa, the 135S won a string of podium finishes while remaining one of the most elegant cars ever produced. It is also famous for its victory in the 1937 Monte Carlo Rally.

    Rare, fluid and racy, it embodies that magical moment when racing, art and luxury became one. Today, it is one of the most sought-after jewels among collectors of pre-war automobiles.

About the craftsman.

The cabinetmaker who carves wood into the bodywork of legends

Stéphane Carton shapes furniture in the same way that others restore classic cars: with precision, uncompromising attention to detail and an immense tenderness for timeless forms.

Son of a craftsman, he discovered the world of wood at a very early age in his father's workshop, where he developed a passion for the material and learned to understand and respect it. With a joiner's CAP and cabinetmaker's CAP in his pocket, he became an accomplished craftsman, renowned for his expertise.

In 2020, he founded Atelier Stéphane Carton to bring together his two passions: wood and cars. Bugatti, Porsche, Chevrolet... His collection of automotive art furniture, unique pieces in solid wood, leather and metal, are entirely handcrafted, from the initial sketch to the final prototype. He draws up his plans to 1/10th scale, studies the proportions and looks for the right lines, those that convey the soul of an exceptional model.

The result is a style that is retro, noble and daring, transforming each piece of furniture into an automobile on wheels, or almost.
