Love for beautiful books – Mendo

A book lover's candy shop located in one of the most popular neighborhoods of Amsterdam is Mendo. An inspiring flagship store where you'll be overwhelmed by love for books. A bookstore, made of books.

Just by visiting this bookstore you no longer want to go home. The walls of the shop are not made of bricks, but of thousands of black Mendo books. This brilliant idea was conceived by the architectural firm Concrete Architectural Associates.

“Today, people are experiencing an information overload. Having an opinion, and creating a personal identity isn’t actually all that easy anymore.”
