Product information "Coffee Table Book Berlin"
Berlin, page by page – and suddenly, you’re not just browsing
You might open this coffee table book for a quick look – and end up staying far longer than planned. “Berlin – Portrait of a City” by TASCHEN is a large-format hardcover book (25 x 34 cm), weighing 4.17 kg and designed to make an impression. Across 544 pages, it tells the story of Berlin through striking photography, from early historical images to iconic moments of the 20th century. This multilingual edition (German, English, French) blends visual storytelling with cultural depth, creating a city portrait that feels both intimate and expansive. The mix of black-and-white and colour photography captures Berlin’s ever-changing identity – raw, vibrant and layered.
A city that refuses to be just one thing
This is not a typical travel guide – and that’s exactly the point. It’s a visual archive, a cultural document, a portrait of a city in constant motion. Berlin appears bold, elegant, fragmented and alive. Whether placed on your coffee table, shared with guests or explored quietly on your own, this book creates a certain atmosphere. Generous double-page layouts allow the images to breathe, inviting you to pause, observe and reflect.
When books become objects
For over 40 years, TASCHEN has been known for publishing books that go beyond the ordinary. Based in Cologne, the publisher brings art, photography and design into everyday life – always with a strong focus on quality and accessibility. “Berlin – Portrait of a City” reflects that philosophy: carefully curated, beautifully produced and designed to last. A book that doesn’t just sit on a shelf, but becomes part of your space.
Not just a book – more like a quiet companion
Placed on a coffee table, styled with other objects or left to stand on its own, this coffee table book integrates effortlessly into different interiors while adding character. It pairs well with other art books or works as a statement piece by itself. And perhaps it becomes one of those books you return to again and again – not because you planned to, but because it simply belongs there.
