Africa’s No 1 Arts Bookstore and Publisher

Lovers of fashion and fine books will be delighted at the news that Assouline books will be available in South Africa. David Krut Publishing (DKP) will launch this fine range of fashion and art titles in Johannesburg.

Fashion expert and director of Assouline, New York, Ausbert de Arce, and his partner, Petra Mason are in Johannesburg for a brief visit and books will be available at One on One.

Assouline and One on One make a perfect pair: they are elegant and classical. Bespoke. Eclectic. Rare.  Since the founding of Assouline in Paris in 1996 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, the vision has always been to create books that are unique and beautiful objects celebrating international fashion, interior design, art, architecture and travel. Renowned for their highly original graphics and content, Assouline books are works of art that capture culture and bring it to life. The spirit and savoir faire of these books have contributed to the creation of a unique, eclectic and chic brand that is immediately identifiable as the haute couture of publishing. Assouline books, first presented by DKP at the Design Indaba this year, will be available Johannesburg and at Montebello Design Centre, Newlands, Cape Town.

One on One is an innovative concept store owned by Riaan de Villiers and architect Joe van Rooyen, specialising in selective European and Victorian lifestyle pieces. Riaan and Joe have distinctive skills and experience and share a passion for the beauty of design, proportion and scale and how this transforms lifestyles. David Krut Publishing is pleased to bring Assouline and One on One together and bring a bit of Paris and New York to Johannesburg.
