The first thing one can notice when stepping inside Berenstraat 11, that is the Mendo Bookstore, is the compact black interior design of the place. With a stylish, yet understated appeal emanating from the shop, Mendo has managed to create its own brand value, be it through the subtle black interior with polished lamps, the trademark Mendo library with black-coloured books and a Mendo logo inscribed on the spine, or the subjects that are covered with an unapologetic allure. Featuring books on fashion, interior designing, photography, culinary arts, graphic design and architecture, the shop is haven for anyone with a creative bent of mind.
