ASSOULINE

ASSOULINE 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 ny their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to 1,700 titles in three main collections, along with special editions and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creat

ions. Throughout the last quarter of a century, the brand has established a network of international boutiques in prominent locations across the globe.
