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.

Erwin Olaf, April Fool 2020, 11.00am
April Fool 2020 by Erwin Olaf is a visual documentation of the current coronavirus pandemic, a reminder of the fear and difficult position we may find ourselves in.
While that may sound very grim and depressing, this new body of work encompasses much more than that. It’s an intimate series, involving Erwin Olaf himself in almost every scene, each of which is impressively stylized and meticulously choreographed in his characteristic style.
Galerie Ron Mandos
‘This idea of a clown with pointed hat and a white face was a translation of a feeling I’d never felt or seen before.’
‘This idea of a clown with pointed hat and a white face was a translation of a feeling I’d never felt or seen before.’
The book contains explanatory texts and an interview between Erwin Olaf and Erik van Ginkel, Managing Director of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
The photographs are simultaneously personal and universal. Above all, the essence is the feeling the series expresses: how we are all affected by this crisis. The person wearing the pointed could be you or me.
