Few objects have shaped the modern kitchen the way Le Creuset has. Now, to mark its 100th anniversary, the iconic French brand collaborates with luxury publisher Assouline on a special-edition coffee table book: Le Creuset: A Century of Colourful Cookware. Bound in the brand’s signature orange and priced at AUD $330, this volume is more than a collector’s item—it’s a visual archive of culinary culture, industrial design, and enduring craftsmanship.
The book opens with an introduction by three-time James Beard Award winner Brett Martin, who captures Le Creuset’s role in shaping the way generations have cooked, gathered, and celebrated around food. Inside, readers will find never-before-seen photographs from Le Creuset’s archives, reflections from globally acclaimed chefs, and a handful of elevated recipes—a reminder that the brand’s legacy is built on both form and function.
Since 1925, Le Creuset’s enamelled cast iron cookware has stood at the intersection of beauty and utility. Its signature palette—ranging from the iconic Flame orange to modern hues like Caribbean and Sage—has made the brand instantly recognisable, not just as a kitchen staple but as a design statement. This new book captures that visual language across a century of evolution, from the first foundry in Fresnoy-le-Grand to kitchens around the world.
Le Creuset: A Century of Colourful Cookware is available for a limited time at Le Creuset Signature Boutiques, lecreuset.com.au, and assouline.com. It is a celebration of colour, culture, and the quiet power of shared meals—a piece to admire, gift, and return to, again and again.
