Assouline creates the highest quality, most coveted book-objects whose distinctive graphic identity and editorial savoir-faire have captured imaginations, addressing new themes in a contemporary manner. With more than 1,500 titles on fashion, art, photography, travel, and design, the brand was created to be the first luxury book brand on culture, supplying everything for the modern library. Photographed by renowned Italian photographer Oberto Gili, and organized by residence, the Valentino: At the Emperor’s Table invites the reader to enjoy various table settings and recipes specific to each home. A flan au chevre may be served on Portuguese porcelain at his ski chalet in Gstaad, while a visit to his home in London reveals a “decorating masterpiece,” says Talley in his text, with an orientalist dining room of blue and white china. The New York City pied-a-terre showcases “table decorations…limitless in their exquisiteness” including Russian dinner-service sets and ruby red Irish glass plates. On T.M. Blue One, guests are served Mediterranean-inspired cuisine atop custom, seafaring-themed dinner service sets. “I love sharing the things in my life with my friends,” Valentino says.
