Driven by the search for creativity and excellence, the DS Automobiles teams launched a call for creation in 2021 from the best French craftsmen, in partnership with Studio Métiers Rares.


Selected by a jury made up of DS Automobiles teams and influential personalities in the fields of art and creation, three finalists (Anne Lopez – creator of universes, Dimitri Hlinka and Nicolas Pinon, Jean-Baptiste Saint-Criq, Cercus marquetry) were invited to create a DS 9 door panel decoration. The jury then designated Anne Lopez as winner of the first DS x MÉTIERS D'ART competition, to whom DS Automobiles entrusted a dedicated budget for the creation of the interior trim of a unique DS 9 (named DS 9 MÉTIERS D'ART).
