INCIRCLE GIFT – For the Armchair Jetsetter Prosper Assouline and his wife, Martine, created their renowned publishing house with the goal of being the first luxury brand to supply everything for a contemporary library, from books to furnishings. “Our digital world goes faster than ever, and nothing remains of it,” the founder says. “But books are the solid part of our past and present. They are also beauty.” ASSOULINE PUBLISHING wants to share that beauty with you. It all starts with a meeting to determine the aesthetic of your custom library. The publisher will then curate a collection of books, furniture, and one-of-a-kind objets d’art just for you. What could be better than escaping to exotic locales and cultures without ever leaving home? Alternatively, if the spirit of the season moves you, any books being replaced by your new collection would make great donations to your local school or library.
