TASCHEN Store London hosts Maxine Billet and Modernist CuisineOn the night of December, 22nd TASCHEN London Store had the pleasure to host a drinks evening with Maxime Billet, author of Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking. With the huge Christmas Tree outside in Sloane Square adding to the festive feel people were in good spirits with a copy of the book being sold at the very start of the night, and other books also being purchased. A surprise, brief appearance by Duran Duran band member Nick Rhodes also added a further excitement. TASCHEN would like to thank Maxine Billet, Sarah Canet (who we also wish congratulations on her recent engagement) and all the Spoon PR team, as well as the TASCHEN London store staff for making this a successful event. |
Selected Quotations from International Media
|
"Designed by the ubiquitous Philippe Starck, the cool publisher's bookshop and basement gallery is the place to go for glossy coffee-table tomes on the subjects of art, architecture, design, pop culture, travel and sex."
The London Magazine, LondonUnited Kingdom |
|
"Highly appropriately placed within stone's throw of Saatchi gallery gates, near Sloane Square, obviously designed yet again by Mr. Starck himself, TASCHEN London bookstore and gallery is bibliophile heaven dedicated to perusal of eclectic art books. With its cool and collected space, muted tones and superb lighting, there is no better place to discover TASCHEN collectible books covering art, design, architecture, pop culture, travel and sex. Largely recognized as falling within coffee table book genre, you may find some more original formats and subject topics."

"What better way to deliver an art-savvy footfall direct to your door than to open a store slap bang opposite the new Saatchi Gallery?...This is the publisher's first UK shop and it has the understated but still recognisable stamp of Phillippe Starck, who designed all the TASCHEN shops worldwide. Billowing white drapes, pale grey floor and gold display units are a fitting backdrop for TASCHEN's glossy art, fashion, architecture, film and erotica titles...And if that's not enough they've fitted in a gallery space downstairs which makes it an all-round winner in our book."
