Nendo

The ultimate monograph on one of the world’s most creative, prolific, and legendary multidisciplinary design studios.

Nendo's extensive, idiosyncratic body of work flows seamlessly across disciplines, and is executed in every medium imaginable—from paper clips to watches, shoes, chocolates, glassware, and furniture, all the way up to store interiors and freestanding architecture.

Featuring more than 1,000 images that trace the studio’s evolution and prolific output over a 15-year period, this visually rich and fascinating survey offers exclusive insight into the playful, simple, enigmatic, but always expectation-confounding designs from one of the industry’s biggest names.

This volume is organised into ten chronological chapters and features a catalogue of works from Nendo’s vast archive, including work for such iconic brands as Capellino, Kartell, Thonet, Kenzo, Camper, and Louis Vuitton.

The recipient of numerous awards, Nendo was named number one of Dezeen’s Designers Hot List in 2016, winner of the Elle Decor Design Awards, Designer of the Year at Maison et Objet in 2015, and Designer of the Year by Elle Decor in 2012.
