Façades #10

Part of Éditions Polystyrène's elegant Collection Façades, this tenth installment — Un Trésor ("A Treasure") — arrives with a cover as refined as its title suggests. A richly detailed, gold-on-navy illustration of an ornate arched doorway dominates the design, its intricate Islamic-influenced lacework and jewel-like embellishments radiating quiet grandeur against the deep indigo background. By Antoine et Guillaume Trouillard, this 2019 entry in the series makes a compelling case that sometimes the most captivating stories begin at the threshold.
