Dreaming 2074...



To mark the occasion, Colbert luxury houses decided to join forces to create and publish for free "Dreaming 2074: A utopia created by French Luxury": some kind of book gathering essays and music in order to give you their vision of a bright future. And we let you imagine how interesting it could be to discover what French Luxury would look like in 60 years... Warning, don't get it wrong as this piece of work is only an utopia as its title suggests. You won't find any anecdotes or keys to learn how to rule an healthy and luxurious business but if you are looking for nice and fictional reading, here you are: www.dreaming2074.com
