'Italian Chic': The Pair Behind Chez Dédé, Condé Nast Traveler, August 2018

Les 10 beaux livres de la rentrée à s'offrir d'urgence, Vogue Paris, September 2018

With a One-Size Collection, Chez Dédé Launches a Small Revolution in Rome, Vogue, October 2018

Andrea Ferolla and Daria Reina are a couple in life and in creativity. They have been working as creative directors, designers, and communication consultants in the luxury industry for more than twenty years. He draws; she takes pictures. He’s an academic; she’s a cool hunter. He is Italian; she is Franco-Italian. Together, they conceive, design, and create objects. With the help of their invaluable team, they give life to projects and events to share and convey in every possible way their sense of art, beauty, and style.

Seven years ago, they created Chez Dédé, a brand of exclusive accessory, fashion, home decor, and jewelry collections that stand alongside small éditions de charme and collaborations with worldwide luxury brands. Italian craftsmanship, a selection of exquisite materials, and a well-balanced blend of sprezzatura and esprit de finesse are the brand’s distinctive trademarks. Daria and Andrea both personally curate the Chez Dédé Instagram profile, and just like this book, it is the expression of their compulsive love for an authentic Italian lifestyle—and the perfect way to discover their “Dedeist” vision.

Standard Gift Wrapping

Assouline signature gift wrapping is available. When this option is selected, books are wrapped in a special white matte gift wrapping paper – sourced specifically by the Assouline family for an authentic approach and sealed with the brand’s signature red wax seal for the final touch of luxury.

THE ART OF LUXURY BOOKMAKING

Since its beginnings in 1994, Assouline has been dedicated to creating books that are as informational as they are beautiful works of art. The respect for the product and the process of creation is evident in every facet – the traditional technique of hand-binding covers, the imagery that transports the reader to another place and time, the luxurious thickness of each page.
