TASCHEN was founded in 1980 by Benedikt Taschen in Cologne and is one of the world's most renowned art book publishers. What started as a small comic book shop is now a global publisher with offices in London, Paris, Los Angeles and Hong Kong — known for opulent coffee table books on art, design, architecture, fashion and pop culture. At Charles & Marie we carry a curated selection of 14 TASCHEN titles on graphic design, architecture, sneakers and food.
Who Is TASCHEN?
Benedikt Taschen opened a comic book shop in Cologne at the age of 19 in 1980. The decisive breakthrough came when he bought 40,000 remaining copies of a Magritte art book and sold them all — laying the foundation for a publisher that made art books accessible to a wide audience. Today TASCHEN is led by Benedikt Taschen together with his daughter Marlene Taschen. The philosophy: premium books on art, design and pop culture that belong on the coffee table, not behind glass.
