Few people know, however, that Mendini went on to design the interior of Haks’ home in Amsterdam, because Mendini considered this job a favour for his friend Haks. Most of their discussions took place in person, with few documentation. The Medini House was designed in 1997 and built in 2000-2001. This Mendini interior is one of the few, and, together with the Groninger Museum, the only ones in the Netherlands!

The colours used in the Mendini House came from the same palette.
