Amsterdam here we come

We are delighted to announce the opening of our newest flagship store in The Netherlands, on P.C. Hooftstraat, right in the heart of gorgeous Amsterdam.  

In the presence of Benedikt Taschen, TASCHEN Store Amsterdam celebrated the lively opening with a packed Press Preview followed by the official Grand Opening for over 400 people. During the day Benedikt Taschen was interviewed by a number of Holland´s most influential journalists and upon his arrival to the store was greeted by over 200 journalists, photographers and film crews. 

The new Store Manager Laurens Besselink welcomed the guests from all fields of Dutch society and handed the microphone over to Benedikt Taschen who gave a warm speech about his affection for The Netherlands.

TASCHEN Store Amsterdam is now officially open!


Selected Quotations from International Media

"With its astute focus on the aesthetics of [contemporary] culture and sexy design, TASCHEN’s chunky coffee table books on art, architecture, design and photography are all the rage, and the many stores across the planet are lavishly designed embassies where art aficionados happily seek shelter. The publisher is expanding once again, and the latest flagship opening is on Amsterdam’s P.C. Hooftstraat where it rubs shoulders with the majority of the city’s designer fashion boutiques. Split over two levels, the ground floor and mezzanine level feature TASCHEN’s best-selling and new titles and the basement section is reserved for limited edition photo reproductions and the remainder of the impressive range of book offerings. The opening party, attended by founder Benedikt Taschen and a few company dignitaries pulled a jolly crowd of guests and press." — Superfuture.com, Netherlands
