design hotels(tm) Offering Luxury Pel'e Biography
BERLIN, Germany, June 19, 2006. The international lifestyle hotel group design hotels(tm) has just been named the exclusive online partner for publisher Gloria's "Pel'e", the luxury, limited edition biography and ultimate tribute to a global icon.
The luxury book, bound in Italian silk and with a custom case, is composed of over 700 pages in an oversized 45 x 35 cm format. Highlights are autobiographical text by Pel'e, a limited edition photographic print, and 1700 images including never before seen photographs taken by Andy Warhol. Each copy is numbered and hand signed by Pel'e. With only 2,500 copies available worldwide at 2,500 Euros each, Pel'e is closer to a limited edition work of art than a book - both in style, design and sentiment.
Claus Sendlinger, founder and President of design hotels(tm) comments "We're thrilled to present this extraordinary collectible to our customers. This book shows how the passion for an idea, combined with design, quality and substance can result in a product with resonance and profound value. What makes this book outstanding is that it's one of the most comprehensive books on football ever created, and also that it's a human story: it portrays a man whose appeal goes beyond sports, transcending both cultures and generations."
