'Our ambition is to connect generations and cultures.'
MENDO is an Amsterdam-based independent publishing house, webshop and retail store founded by Roy Rietstap and Joost Albronda in 2002. MENDO’s ambition is to connect generations and cultures with a love for visual inspiration and aesthetically pleasing books. From independent publications to collector’s editions, MENDO curates the finest books in fashion, food, graphic design & art, interior & architecture, lifestyle and photography.
Three pillars
The last years have demonstrated that people trust MENDO to get the latest and finest in photography, fashion, traveling, lifestyle, culinary books, interior & architecture and graphic design, and lastly a unique selection of collector’s editions, on display in our store. These carefully selected, visually stunning and lasting publications are what people identify with – in fact, they help them to define what they are truly passionate about.
With graphic design running through our veins and 15 years of experience as a bookstore we started doing what only comes natural: creating jaw-dropping MENDO books
