The antidote to endless scrolling? A book. More specifically, an Assouline coffee table book. There's something about the weight of a hardback and the gloss of well-printed imagery that feels like a luxury in itself. Known for its oversized, high-end Assouline books, the publisher has turned that feeling into an art form, creating titles that work as interior objects as much as cultural deep dives.
The Assouline travel books are probably the most recognisable, covering destinations from Miami Beach to Bali. But the catalogue goes much further, spanning fashion, art, architecture, gastronomy and photography.
With more than 1,700 titles to its name, Assouline offers plenty of ways to slow down.
