Some coffee table books are informative, containing pages filled with detailed research on the subject at hand. Some coffee table books are simply meant to sit there and look pretty or, at the very least, bizarre enough to get a conversation going. Taschen Library, the über cool library-cum-boutique on the first floor of The Joule hotel, marries both of those functions with its (dare I say it?) sexy collection of coffee table books.
Yes, I’m going for it. Their books are sexy! And in honor of the brand new batch of glossy beauties that just arrived (or are coming soon) to the downtown shop, I’ve picked out a few that could spice up even the blandest of coffee tables.
