Selected Quotations from International Media

"Starck's Californian Dream! His sexy and intelligent world is now in Los Angeles. TASCHEN, world's leading art publisher opens its store in Los Angeles. Shining walnut floor, bronze book shelf and Arbert Oehlen's collages on the walls and the ceilings look gorgeous and sophisticated."
— Casa Brutus, Tokyo, Japan
|
|
"Bound to raise eyebrows in tony Beverly Hills, TASCHEN's new bookstore on Beverly Drive is chock full of titillating fare, from vintage nudie books to outrageously graphic art tomes."
— Variety, Los Angeles, United States
|
|
"A pretty stylish way to spend an afternoon."
— Movieline's Hollywood Life, Los Angeles, United States
|
|
"Designed by Philippe Starck, the store is a luxe version of a wood-paneled library from old Europe, said the owner Benedikt Taschen. A long, narrow space, it is lined floor to ceiling in American walnut, with bronze-veneered fixtures and paintings by Albert Oehlen, collaging images from Taschen's art, design, and erotic books."
— New York Times, New York, United States
|

"[Benedikt] Taschen, for his part, chose Starck to design the store because "I wanted the Sistine Chapel," he says by phone. The space is intended not as "a cold fashion boutique but a place where people like to stay" - and "hopefully buy some books." The store may not be exactly Vatican style, but it will have art across the ceiling-displayed in frames above mahogany, glass and bronze interior that's intended, its promotional material says, to give it an "Old Europe-style" look. When the store opens next month, it will also be the only bookstore in Beverly Hills. Starck envisions it as "the heart and life of intelligence."
— LA Times, Los Angeles, United States
