Initially we will offer 38 routes, including nine transatlantic routes, as part of this codeshare.”

Tom Horton, President of American Airlines, added: “We are pleased to announce our partnership with Air Berlin, the second largest German airline, which has also become one of the most respected airlines in Europe over the past two decades. This relationship will add significant value for our customers by substantially growing our global network. The agreement provides our customers with extensive access to Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, as well as many other business and leisure destinations. Furthermore, Air Berlin’s U.S. services truly complement our three strategic core markets – New York, Miami, and Los Angeles.”

New Taschen store in Miami

GW Editorial Staff — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:08:02 +0000

There are some who say that TASCHEN publishes the most exquisite books on the planet. Certainly, since 2001 we have strived to create exquisite TASCHEN Stores in our planet’s most vibrant and exciting cities. Our aim has always been to provide our customers with elegant and inspirational surroundings in which to explore our books. And so, following Paris, New York, Los Angeles, London, Brussels, Berlin, Hamburg and Copenhagen, we knew our next stop must be the gateway to all things sunny and paradisial, Miami Beach.

We are pleased to announce the opening of our newest and warmest location, the TASCHEN Store Miami. Located in the heart of South Beach on Lincoln Road, the TASCHEN Store Miami is one of only thirteen high-end storefronts located in a brand new building designed by Swiss architect’s Herzog & de Meuron. Like all TASCHEN Stores, the Miami space was conceived by legendary French designer Philippe Starck. We also commissioned British artist Toby Ziegler to create both a dazzling series of floor-to-ceiling murals and an elaborately patterned hand-poured terrazzo floor made entirely of stones indigenous to south Florida.

The TASCHEN Store Miami will be open from 11am – 10pm Sunday through Thursday, and from 11am – 11pm Fridays and Saturdays. The space will carry the full range of TASCHEN titles from contemporary and classic art, photography, design, architecture, sex, travel, cinema and pop culture, as well as a selection of our Spanish and Portuguese language titles.
