Books by Mendo

If you love one-of-a-kind books and want to pick up some furnishing tips as you shop for new things to read, you will feel right at home with the trendsetters at MENDO. The concept store in the heart of Amsterdam, founded by Roy Rietstap und Joost Albronda in 2002, became the instant go-to spot for style-loving bibliophiles. Fans of the store include design greats like Piet Boon. Along with the best books in fashion, photography, interior design, food, and travel, books actually serve as the literal foundation for the store: if you look closely, you will see that the simple, elegant black walls are actually made of precise stacks of books--an idea that is typical Amsterdam!
