Selected Quotations from International Media
"The evocative German publisher TASCHEN, which specializes in travel, fashion, and pop culture books, comes to Beverly Hills. Its first store in the United States, designed by Philippe Starck, is covered in cast iron, dark woods, and purple mirrors."Travel + Leisure, New YorkUnited States |

"Smart and Sexy. Provocative and democratic. Such is the world of TASCHEN according to designer celebre, Philippe Starck, who has created the dramatic interiors for the publishing house's first American flagship store in LA. With doors opening shortly, the sleek geometric space is lined with high, dark glossy wood shelves, shapely cast iron medians, purple mirrors and quilted ramparts, and golden leather accents that set the mood. The entrance is flanked by two glass doors which lead the way to TASCHEN's long line of controversial and sexy (and occasionally scholarly) titles, like the highly affordable Icon series to Helmut Newton's SUMO, the biggest and most expensive book produced in the 20th century. Stand in line behind us for book signings, readings and special literati mix-and-mingles. Who says smart can't be sexy?"Clear, Royal Oak, MIUnited 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 AngelesUnited States |
