Taschen

The Story:

In 1980 Benedikt Taschen opened Taschen comics in Cologne Germany at only 18 years old. By the time he was twenty he was producing his own catalogues and welcoming new collaborators for the business. The future was looking bright! After only two years the company moved to larger premises and really took off. Some great ideas and clever business sense lead to Taschen compiling the Basic Art series, and the Big Art series making it affordable and accessible to an appreciative crowd. The rest is history and the brand continues to make gorgeous coffee table books to titillate the senses!

The Collection:

Cute and wise diaries, iconic biographies, travel guides and glossy fashion oracles.

Last Word:

The only name to have on your bookshelf, Taschen is synonymous with quality publishing.
