Le Creuset: A Century of Colorful Cookware

Assouline creates the highest quality, most coveted book-objects whose distinctive graphic identity and editorial savoir-faire have captured imaginations, addressing new themes in a contemporary manner. With more than 1,500 titles on fashion, art, photography, travel, and design, the brand was created to be the first luxury book brand on culture, supplying everything for the modern library. Le Creuset: A Century of Colorful Cookware has struck the ideal blend of design, science, and aesthetics at its foundry in Fresnoy-le-Grand, France. Here, each cast iron product passes through the hands of fifteen artisans, ensuring the result meets the highest standards. Original photography captured exclusively for this title offers readers a behind-the-scenes look at this time-honored process, from casting to molding to applying the colored enamel.
