First you hear it: a soft hum cutting through the street. Then you see it, and before you know it, it\u2019s gone again. Now in its eightieth year, the Vespa remains one of the most exciting icons ever to grace public roads, and now, for the first time, Assouline captures its unique character in the coffee-table book *Vespa*, a work worthy of its legend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This book is organized thematically rather than chronologically and traces the evolution of a brand that has never lost its essence. It explores the Vespa\u2019s deep roots in Italian culture, its prominent role in subcultures, its enduring connection to fashion, film, and sports, and its remarkable ability to be experienced both as a personal accessory and as a means of transportation. Rare archival material, including vintage brochures, original global advertisements, and historical calendars from the Vespa archives, brings each chapter to life.<\/p>\n

Written by Michael K\u00f6ckritz, the award-winning publisher and editor-in-chief behind some of the world\u2019s most celebrated design and lifestyle publications, this is not a technical manual or a collector\u2019s catalog. It is a cultural portrait.<\/p>\n

For the free spirits, the adventurers, and those who understand that the most iconic things in life are never merely functional. This book can be paired with Assouline\u2019s exclusive Vespa helmet.<\/p>\n

Eerst hoor je het: een zacht gezoem dat door de straat snijdt. Dan zie je het, en voor je het weet is het weer verdwenen. Op haar tachtigste blijft de Vespa een van de meest opwindende iconen die ooit de openbare weg hebben gesierd, en nu legt Assouline voor het eerst haar unieke karakter vast […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":40711,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[890],"product_tag":[236],"giftcard-category":[],"merken":[813],"thema":[],"class_list":["post-40749","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-autoboeken","product_tag-nieuwe-boeken","merken-assouline-boeken","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/40749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=40749"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=40749"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=40749"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=40749"},{"taxonomy":"merken","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/merken?post=40749"},{"taxonomy":"thema","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thema?post=40749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
