The Palais Bulles of Pierre Cardin by Jean-Pascal Hesse (Assouline, 2012) Hardcover book

​An exceptional, scarce coffee table monograph published by Assouline, celebrating legendary fashion designer Pierre Cardin's famous Palais Bulles ("Bubble Palace") in Théoule-sur-Mer, France. Designed by Hungarian "habitologist" architect Antti Lovag, this iconic organic structure on the cliffs of the French Riviera remains one of the world's most famous works of retro-futuristic architecture.

​Written by Jean-Pascal Hesse with photography by Louis-Philippe Breydel, this volume offers an intimate tour of the estate's spherical rooms, sweeping bay windows, bespoke 1970s interior furnishings, and cliffside amphitheatre. An essential collector's piece for enthusiasts of mid-century design, space-age architecture, and haute couture.
