Assouline
When home becomes Art, Collected in Every Page
The Brand Philosophy
Assouline transforms the world of books into an expression of refined living.
Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, the Maison began with a simple belief: that books could be more than something to read, they could become objects of beauty, curiosity and inspiration.
Today, Assouline creates beautifully crafted books and objects that celebrate the world’s most captivating stories, places, personalities and creative disciplines. From art and architecture to fashion, travel, gastronomy and design, every title invites you to discover the world through a distinctly sophisticated lens.
For Assouline, knowledge is not separate from beauty. It is an essential part of it.
The Signature Aesthetic
Assouline’s aesthetic is instantly recognisable: bold imagery, refined materials, rich colour and an unmistakable sense of sophistication.
Each book is conceived as a visual experience, bringing together compelling photography, thoughtful editorial direction and carefully considered design. From intimate editions to monumental collector’s volumes, Assouline transforms publishing into an art form.
The result is a collection that feels equally at home in a private library, an elegant living room or a carefully curated interior, books designed to be explored, displayed and admired.
