Best Fashion and Art Coffee Table Books to Gift This Holiday Season

by David Saric

Resting on living room furniture, these objets d’art simultaneously rouse conversation while also symbolizing a person’s interests sui generis.

S/ has rounded up a list of the most compelling coffee table books detailing unique cultural subject matter—from fashion to art—that will enliven any living room.

Small but complete. A cortado built on the Vivida B12 capsule—bold espresso softened with warm milk, brown sugar, and a touch of cinnamon. The kind of coffee that makes a Tuesday feel considered.
