Every piece is thoughtfully hand-designed by Monica, with decorative studs and Austrian crystals individually selected and placed over hours of meticulous craftsmanship. No two creations are exactly alike. Whether styled on a coffee table, displayed on a bookshelf, or showcased on a wall, each piece brings a unique touch of art, personality, and luxury to your space.

Marilyn Monroe Studded Coffee Table Book

This book is both a biography and a visual tribute to one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons. As Norman Mailer wrote in his 1973 biography Marilyn Now, “It is a biography, and it is also a pictorial retrospective of an actress whose greatest love affair was conceivably with the camera.”

TASCHEN combines Mailer’s masterful writing with Bert Stern’s unforgettable Last Sitting photographs—widely considered the most intimate portraits of Marilyn Monroe ever taken. Together, they create a breathtaking homage to a woman whose beauty, vulnerability, and charisma captivated the world.

Through Mailer’s words and Stern’s lens, Marilyn emerges as both a symbol of timeless glamour and a complex, deeply human figure searching for love and belonging. This exquisite volume captures her story with artistry and emotion.

Every luxury coffee table book hardcover is designed and embellished by hand. The backing of every cover is made from hand-designed marble paper, ensuring beauty both inside and outside of your luxury book. Each copy is truly a unique piece of art.
