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.

Robert Fitzgerald Diggs (RZA/Bobby Digital), 1998 © Dana Lixenberg. Courtesy of the artist and GRIMM Amsterdam | New York.
The Dutch photographer Dana Lixenberg takes a direct and nonconceptual approach to photography. Her eye is nonjudgmental, and all her subjects, however varied, are treated with the same gaze. United States features a critical essay from George Pitts – a prolific figure in the photography world.
‘She does not show these gifted people doing breezy star turns, but instead extracts their ordinary (yet richly human) qualities.’
Dana Lixenberg is known for her stripped-down portraits that revel in the elemental characteristics of her subjects. She uses natural light and a large-format field camera – a cumbersome tool, which necessitates what the artist refers to as a ‘slow dance’ between her and her subjects.
