teNeues | MENDO

At the heart of MENDO is the love of pure design. Before establishing the inspirational concept store and go-to flagship bookstore for style-conscious bibliophiles in Amsterdam in 2002, founders Roy Rietstap and Joost Albronda were accomplished graphic designers with an eye for innovation and entrepreneurship. Thus, a brilliant retail concept was created in the form of the MENDO of today. The collaboration of teNeues x MENDO is a synergy on many levels—a premier international publisher of illustrated books on culture combining with trendsetting designers with a great love for beautiful, asthetically-minded books— housed in a one-of-a-kind global bookstore. 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! www.mendo.nl

If you find yourself in Amsterdam, be sure to check out the Mendo bookshop in the buzzing 9 Streets district. It’s the concept store for bibliophiles, with a firm accent on interior design. And Mendo has teamed up with the teNeues publishing house to produce this lavish tome, a celebration of the uninhibited experimentation that is such a landmark of the city’s interior styles.
