Made by MENDO
About the booksWho will recognize a great book better than a bookstore? A bookstore run by graphic designers. Here’s why: at MENDO we get market feedback seven days a week, we are blessed to be surrounded by a bunch of talented, inspiring people – photographers, writers and publishers – and after being a bookstore for more than 15 years, we can easily say we know what book aficionados are looking for. Don’t you agree that initiating, creating and realizing jaw-dropping books now, only comes natural?
A MENDO publication is a well-designed book with visually stunning creative content, browsed by people to be amazed and inspired. The subject-matter is one of our pre-defined curated categories, fashion, photography, interior, sport, lifestyle, food and traveling. In general, a MENDO book is a piece of furniture in itself.
“Stylistically, Salvagni is an avowed modernist;
his work displays an elegant economy of means that is utterly contemporary,” writes Pilar Viladas, architecture and design editor. “Yes, his work consistently bears the weight of history–not in overt references, but in its material richness, impeccable craftsmanship, and deeply layered narrative.”
Achille Salvagni
In the seventeen years since Achille Salvagni founded his design practice in Rome, the architect and designer has become known for his luxurious interiors, including apartments in New York and Palm Beach, a flat overlooking Holland Park in London, and his own apartment in Rome. He has become one of the world’s preeminent designers of interiors, for which he has won numerous awards. His limited-edition furniture, lighting, and object designs are sought after both by collectors and by his fellow designers for their own projects.
‘ Interiors allow you to uncover the secret sides of people that are not often revealed. ’
‘ Interiors allow you to uncover the secret sides of people that are not often revealed. ’
This is the first monograph on Salvagni, with his best projects organized thematically instead of chronologically. With chapters on Craftsmanship, Heritage, Narrative, Harmony, and Color–among other themes–this monograph will enlighten as well as delight.
