Assouline’s new objects and home fragrances collection are an ideal complement to your reading rituals

Assouline has collaborated with French designer Pierre Favresse to create an array of curated items to build the perfect library. These pieces – which include bookends, bookstands, trinket boxes, a tray, a frame, a backgammon set, an hourglass and a magnifying glass – are influenced by the Assouline family’s most cherished items and are crafted from the finest wood, leather and brass. The objects are available in the brand’s signature colours of red, camel and brown.

Called The Library Collection, the collection comprises elegantly designed objects and home fragrances. Ideally paired as a complement to Assouline’s hallmark coffee table books, the assortment embodies the brand’s aesthetic sensibility with pieces that are both beautiful and functional. As with every title published, each object is created with the highest level of craftsmanship and exceptional attention to detail.

A library-inspired home fragrance line completes the experience. Presented in amber glass vessels, these candles and diffusers evoke the calm atmosphere of chic private spaces – luxurious wood, leather-bound books, lush pages and smoky tobaccos. Peaceful and thought-provoking, the fragrances embody the essence of the most aspirational libraries in the world.

Rooted in the idea that a true library is both curated and lived-in, The Library Collection invites design aficionados and bibliophiles alike to create a sanctuary that celebrates knowledge, beauty and ritual.
