Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury brand on culture. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, using the couple’s experienced eye for visually rich stories and compelling narratives. Guided by their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to nearly 2,000 titles in five main collections, along with special editions, home fragrances and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creations. Throughout the last thirty years, the brand has established a network of international boutiques in prominent locations across the globe. With a distinguished team of creative talents—which includes the founders’ son Alexandre—the brand continues to reinvent the notion of true luxury. Assouline’s roster of collaborators includes some of the world’s most respected brands, artists, photographers, writers and designers. Assouline continues to exude an unparalleled signature style and elegant savoir faire, which has globally redefined modern publishing.Features Introduction by Brett Martin11 x 14 in. - 28 x 35.5 cm.304 pagesHardcover in a luxury slipcaseISBN: 9781649804464
