Taschen opens in Berlin
From their website.

Some say that TASCHEN publishes the most exquisite books on the planet.
Certainly, since 2001 we have strived to create exquisite TASCHEN Stores in the planet's most vibrant and exciting cities.
Which is why, following Paris, New York, Los Angeles, London and Brussels, we are delighted to announce the opening of our newest location, the TASCHEN Store Berlin.

Set in the historical heart of the city, just one block from Gendarmenmarkt and its Konzerthaus, TASCHEN Store Berlin promises to spice up this already bustling district with our dizzying array of art books large and small. We believe that Berlin’s rich creative and cultural history, its role as a powerhouse of contemporary art and music, and its unique architectural legacy all make it the perfect venue for our latest branded store.

As with all our flagship premises the TASCHEN Store Berlin is designed by Philippe Starck and will feature his unique furnishings and fittings–including a golden central pillar–as well as a vintage ceiling light designed by Gio Ponti and Pietro Chiesa in 1930 for Fontana Arte.

The 82 sq. meter store will carry the full range of TASCHEN titles, from our basic art series to our most extravagant oversized limited editions.
Friedrichstr. 180-184,
10117 Berlin
