Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury cultural brand. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, utilizing the couple's experienced eye for creating visually rich stories and compelling narratives.
Driven by their passion for knowledge, culture, and travel, the founders expanded their vision to 1,700 titles, along with special editions and unique library accessories. Over the past quarter-century, the brand has established a network of international boutiques in prominent locations around the world. Assouline also launched a library service, working closely with clients to design custom, one-of-a-kind libraries.
