Icons is the destination companion to Iconic Books. Where the larger volumes settle into a single house, these small books take in the world around it: the village, the coastline, the mountain, the season. One subject, one place, one pocket-sized book.
Each issue gathers what an editor notices on a long stay: portraits of the people who shape a place, addresses worth a detour, an interview with someone you should already know, the chapel by Jean Prouvé, the épicerie everyone keeps to themselves. Curiosity rather than coverage.
Softbound, bilingual English and French, printed in France. The format slips into a coat pocket on the way to the airport and onto the kitchen counter once you arrive: less reference manual, more compagnon de route.
Five titles trace the map of Iconic House's home territories: Les Baux-de-Provence, Hossegor, Courchevel, Gordes, and Ferret. Each one is small in size, small in price, and a deliberate counterpoint to the long-form library.
