0:01Welcome back to the Culture Lounge podcast. I'm your host, Alex Assouline. Last season, we traveled across continents and creative worlds, from watchmaking to gastronomy, from fashion to transformative travel, discovering the people and stories behind them. This season, we return with new voices and new conversations. We're also introducing two new series. First is Savoir Faire, where I sit down with Martine and Prosper Assouline to talk about intuition, timing, and the craft behind what we do.

0:30Alex Assouline:Together, we explore the ultimate collection and the library collection, the inspirations, the artisans, and the ideas that turn a book into something you truly live with. The second is Decisive Moment, a series of conversations with the creators and visionaries who inspire us. We speak about their work, their journey, and the moment that changed everything for them. Welcome to season two of the Culture Lounge podcast, where every conversation is an invitation. You can subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
