The myth of the world-famous Costa Smeralda luxury hotel, Cala di Volpe, lies in its indelible and indescribable character, carefully shaped by a select few who embodied the spirit of this magical destination. It is impossible to visit Sardinia and not be inspired by its incredible natural beauty. And it was no different for architect Jacques Couëlle, the “house sculptor” whose approach in designing Cala di Volpe involved only local materials and whose guiding principle was to achieve harmony with the surrounding environment. Perfectly integrated into the landscape, the hotel now stands in all its organic, free-form splendor, with terracotta accents and a pastel exterior. Assouline is the pioneering brand in the creation of luxury books that delight interior decorators. Its Travel Series collection is the most vibrant of all, with numbers with a vibrant, modern and creative aesthetic. • 176 pages • More than 150 illustrations • English language • Launch July 2023 • W 23 x L 30 x D 3.2 cm • Linen hardcover • ISBN: 9781649802156 • 1.7kg
