Budapest, the vibrant capital of Hungary, is a city of enchanting contrasts. In the western part of the city, Buda, landmarks like Fisherman’s Bastion, Buda Castle, and Matthias Church stand as testaments to its rich history, while the Pest side boasts modern icons like the House of Parliament, the Opera House, and Heroes’ Square. The Széchenyi Chain Bridge gracefully spans the Danube, linking the two halves of the city.
Beyond its storied past, Budapest pulsates with a dynamic present, epitomized by cultural fusion and creative fervor. Artists, filmmakers, and innovators thrive here, blending nostalgia with a forward-looking energy. Budapest Gem, featuring original photography by Oliver Pilcher, captures the city's essence, inspiring readers with its timeless allure.
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 1,700 titles in three main collections, along with special editions and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creations. Throughout the last quarter of a century, 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.
