The curation of objects and books is the foundation of an Assouline Library—a personal sanctuary and cultural haven. The Library Collection brings together a selection of elegantly designed objects inspired by the Assouline Family’s most cherished essentials. As with every book published, each object reflects the highest level of craftsmanship. Envisioned as a dialogue between books and design, The Library Collection is for the curious and the cultured. It embodies Assouline’s aesthetic sensibility, characterized by timeless sophistication, and a profound sense of inspiration.
The Twist Bookends, designed by Prosper Assouline, were made to be admired from every angle. With a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic plinth shape, these bookends push the boundaries of traditional design through their smooth contours and surfaces.
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.
