Books: The Pleasure of Leisure

About The Pleasure of Leisure

The Pleasure of Leisure evokes limitless daydreaming – a blissful visual escape that feels like a holiday. Wherever you might be in the world; unexpected destinations are right at your fingertips, ready to be explored by your wandering eye. Drift off to faraway coastlines and leisurely moments in nature's magical color palette. 

Milou Neelen of Hôtel Magique and Anna Pihan formed a creative collaboration ‘The Pleasure of Leisure’ in 2020. They discovered a mutual dream: designing and publishing books as an expression of their creativity and so they set sail on an adventure. This journey led to the launch of the self-published book, 'The Pleasure of Leisure,' which quickly sold out its first edition and garnered esteemed features in Vogue, AD Spain, Forbes, and more. In this book, they share a sensory dialogue through photography, art and words as poetry inspired by faraway destinations and leisurely moments. 

Corresponding in images, Milou Neelen of Hôtel Magique and Anna Pihan create a glowing visual story through not only books, but also travel guides, leisurewear, conversations with ‘Lovers of Leisure’, and more.
