Chic Lifestyles from Assouline
Internationally known for their exquisite volumes of lifestyle books on Fashion, Design, Travel, and Art (to name a few subjects) as well as their admired spirit and savoir-faire, Assouline, the celebrated publishing house who is celebrating their 20 year anniversary, is set to début Assouline Interiors in the Fall of 2014. The conceptual luxury brand is well poised to feature a complete lifestyle furnishing collection for contemporary libraries and chic offices around the world. Last month, I traveled to the legendary Plaza Hotel, where their second floor bookstore has been transformed to one of the city’s choicest destination, where fashionable New Yorkers, and infinite tourists can escape to the world’s most vibrant cities, art and fashion spheres. The beauty of the bookstore is that, not only is it well situated, it is beautifully designed for individuals who have embraced the so-called “good life”. In this particular trip, I got to witness the launch of their book bags and candles.
And so after nearly a decade of launching their brand, it seems that Assouline has now added a new spark to their collections by creating an excessive presentation of deluxe scented candles that were created to arouse a rich and subtle fragrance to any library. Paper, Havana, Culture Lounge, Leather, and Wood are the names of their candle series. It should be noted that the company is also planning on opening a lifestyle showroom at the D&D Building in October, as well as a flagship store in London’s West End, in the City of Westminster, a place famously known as Piccadilly. The second floor of the D&D showroom will premiere not only their candles and book bags collections, but it will be the core of Assouline Interiors, which highlights their prolific lifestyle brand.
