Double Tap to ZoomLifestyleAssouline Has Better Ideas Than Your Algorithm11 minutes ago in LifestyleThis content has been paid for by an advertiser. If you'd like to appear on Highsnobiety, contact: advertising@highsnobiety.com.(Sponsored Story)We think it’s safe to assume that most of us are quietly appalled by the amount of precious time we spend staring at a screen. Day in and day out, we’re glued to the white noise, turning to it not only for news, but as our most efficient means of ‘educating’ ourselves. Oh, how naive we’ve become. Somewhere along the way, the endless scroll became our default setting, and the algorithm our unofficial taste-maker.But what happens when the feed starts feeling a little stale? When your FYP no longer feels like it’s for you, and every other person seems to be wearing, watching, or wanting the same things? Sometimes, the best inspiration comes from stepping away from the screen altogether. From the books stacked on a coffee table (you can actually read them, you know) to the interiors that make you want to rethink your own space, there’s a whole world of ideas waiting beyond the algorithm.Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Instagram post.This winter, take it as an excuse to read the room and look for inspiration beyond the feed. Assouline has plenty to get stuck into, from its signature books to the objects and board games that make you wonder why you ever needed another hour of doom scrolling. Whether you’re after something to spruce up your own space, a new obsession to get into, or a gift for that person who’s impossible to buy for (‘tis almost the season), you’re in the right place.Read ReceiptsForget keeping up with the constantly changing “fashion trends” online. Instead, immerse yourself in a fashion house whose craftsmanship and excellence prevail long after the latest microtrend has had its five minutes of fame. Assouline’s From Louis to Vuitton is a fitting place to start. And why stop at fashion? The collection spans everything from cinema and cars to watches, with its James Bond Trilogy offering a particularly good excuse to spend an afternoon admiring very expensive cars and even more expensive-looking suits. Consider it screen time with a little more substance.Interior MotivesEveryone knows the right interiors can reveal more about a person than they’d probably like. The books on display, the architecturally inclined bookstands holding them up, the candle you refuse to burn because it just looks too good. It’s all part of the picture, and it makes this time of year a good excuse to give your own space some overdue attention or find something for the person whose home you’re always complimenting. Treat them to something they wouldn’t have thought of themselves, but will kick themselves for overlooking.Your MoveA chess set for the friend who thinks they’re the next grandmaster, a deck of playing cards for the one who takes a suspicious amount of pride in their poker face. Enter Game Room, the brand’s latest extension of its Library Collection, bringing a design-minded approach to the games you know and love. Games might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you’re on the hunt for a gift, but a particularly nice set is a different story entirely. Especially when it’s something you can leave out on the coffee table rather than hide away in a cupboard. Just be prepared to lose a few evenings to it.
