In good news for Brits with space on their coffee tables, Taschen opened its latest flagship today. The 650-square-foot London shop is located next to the new Saatchi Gallery, stocking the publisher's usual mix of sex, art, and photo books, and includes a gallery in the basement. The design? By Philippe Starck (what, you were expecting Zaha?), who previously collaborated with the imprint on stores in Cologne and Beverly Hills. Sadly, no word on whether the new store will also have a MySpace page, much less if it will be as saucy as the New York shop's.

Great shop! I blog about retail concepts worldwide, and premium brands like Assouline do a great job with the tangible incarnation of their brand offering through these types of stores.
