Luxury book publisher with elegant bar serving cocktails
"The huge, old Hauser + Wirth gallery is now filled to the brim with books and curiosities. With a bar against the far-wall serving champagne, an in-house bespoke bookbinder, a stand selling vintage rarities of publishing and a remarkable collection of antiques and oddities — stepping into Maison Assouline has an air of visiting an eccentric collector’s drawing room rather than a publisher’s flagship store." - dn&co.
"Maison Assouline, St Jamess. The huge, old Hauser + Wirth gallery is now filled to the brim with books and curiosities. With a bar against the far-wall serving champagne, an in-house bespoke bookbinder, a stand selling vintage rarities of publishing and a remarkable collection of antiques and oddities — stepping into Maison Assouline has an air of visiting an eccentric collector’s drawing room rather than a publisher’s flagship store."
"For more shopping in central London, Assouline's Piccadilly flagship is housed inside a former bank and features Swans Bar, a calm and sophisticated place to have a proper cocktail."
"Entering a London bookshop in November 2018, I learned that Katie Barringer and Jordan Smelt were at a crossroads—Barringer had just closed her Marietta Street shop Cover Books, and Smelt had begun working for Rive Gauche Wine Co. after leaving Bread and Butterfly and Cakes and Ale. Seated at Maison Assouline’s Swans Bar and surrounded by art and lifestyle books, the shop and its pocket bar provided the immediate “a‑ha” moment that changed the course of their lives and ultimately inspired their Buckhead concept, Lucian Books and Wine." - Beth McKibben
