Assouline
Details

Assouline is a luxury publisher known for its iconic coffee table books spanning art, fashion, travel, and culture. For the 2023 holiday season, Sweden developed a campaign supporting Assouline’s collection, with the selected concept, World of Wonder, bringing a winter landscape to life through handcrafted paper sets and stop-motion animation.

Approach

Sweden led the creative direction and production of the campaign, developing a whimsical paper world built around Assouline’s travel collection, candles, gift sets, and Ultimates books, reimagined as a mountainous landscape. The system was designed to translate seamlessly across video and still imagery, creating a cohesive set of assets for use across digital and physical channels.
