Press your thumbs together, bend the remaining fingers, and have them connect at the fingernails. Slightly overlap your thumb and index finger. Combine the less-than symbol with the numeral 3. Draw a diamond, make a half-circle on the top-left side, make another half-circle on the top-right side. These various directions will all create the universal symbol of love, an anatomically inaccurate depiction of the heart that has come to represent the center (or heart) of emotion, intuition, and sincerity: heartbroken, follow your heart, cross my heart. In the body, a functioning heart is essential to being alive. Some poets and great writers might also argue that love is the sole purpose of life. Across cultures and religions, from science to artistic expression, the heart as a symbol has been omnipresent for centuries, whether in ancient practices or pop-art creations.
True love, in all types of relationships, is something to believe in. The same sentiments showcased in the legendary fictional romances of film (think Jack and Rose, Westley and Buttercup, and Noah and Allie) can be found in real-life examples (Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, JAY-Z and Beyoncé). Love is an endless fountain of inspiration and has perhaps been the greatest source of creative expression in history, whether in fashion (Moschino, Saint Laurent), art (Klimt, Leonardo, Koons), or poetry (E. E. Cummings, Pablo Neruda). While love the feeling may not be a tangible, visible thing, the pages of Heart & Love come the closest to capturing this ever-elusive, all-encompassing, life-changing, often fickle, most important, and world-consuming emotion.

About Assouline
We created this company to be the first luxury brand on culture. We wanted to supply everything for a contemporary library; we started working with top perfumers for scented candles, with Goyard for a book trunk, with Chanel on a quilted leather slipcase, and so on. Now we are expanding the Assouline lifestyle brand in stores in the most important cities of the world. We love and believe in books more than everything else, but we also want to extend our vision to create all that can be expected in a chic and personalized library, from beautiful books and special editions to luxury gift items, unique library accessories, and now a complete turnkey collection of stylish furniture. Our digital world goes faster than ever and nothing remains of it, but books are a solid part of our past and present. They are also beautiful. For us, books are a matter of intellect and emotion; heritage and innovation. Information is not only about today, and the past is a sensational source of inspiration.
