Gift Ideas for the Design Lover
For those who see the world through proportion, texture, and light, Assouline presents the best designer gift ideas, volumes and objets that capture the artistry of modern living. From The Living Room to Sig Bergamin: Eclectic, these design coffee table books reveal interiors where imagination meets precision and where spaces become expressions of identity. Ideal gifts for interior designers or creative thinkers, they offer beauty, innovation, and inspiration for any environment.
Gifts for the Architect
For those who draft the future, select works that celebrate vision and structure. Monumental portraits such as Oscar Niemeyer or Santiago Calatrava sit alongside urban studies like Reinventing Columbus Circle and design-led icons including Tiffany & Co.: The Landmark. Printed on art-quality paper and bound with exceptional care, these volumes are distinguished gifts for the architect, references that illuminate process, precedent, and the poetics of space.
Design Objects and Beautiful Function
Beyond books, Assouline’s library accessories embody the purity of design in sculptural form. Crafted from materials such as walnut wood, brass, and pebbled leather, the Culture Bookstand and Pebble Accessory Tray transform utility into art. These design objects are thoughtful gifts for designers who value elegance in function, pieces that bring warmth, balance, and refinement to the spaces where ideas take shape.
