Audo has teamed up with Copenhagen cocktail and vinyl destination Bird to create an intimate bar experience shaped by music, hospitality and atmosphere.
The Cinema Room offered a deeper layer of storytelling that focused on the legacy of the Lassen brothers.
A dedicated 90th anniversary presentation of Flemming Lassen’s ‘The Tired Man’ was a cultural and emotional anchor within a wider experience.
Quiet Grandeur was a series of experiences throughout the Audo House that reinforced Audo’s vision of design as central to how people gather, communicate and experience each other.Last year at Audo House, Monuments transformed the historic building of Nordhavn into something theatrical – an ancient sculpture against a modern state, silence carrying as much weight as decoration. In 3 days of design 2026, Audo Copenhagen does almost the opposite, and in some ways lives in the same place. Quiet Grandeur is quieter, softer and more tolerant, yet works on the same Nordic reading of classicism that makes the brand’s work feel classic and contemporary.
For the uninitiated, Audo House is a 1918 mixed-use home in Nordhavn—part concept store, cafe, boutique hotel and headquarters, all wrapped up in the restrained interior of Norm Architects. Each design week, Audo completely remodels the space, and this year the concept store becomes the centerpiece of the show, reading as one cohesive interior instead of a product line.

Audo Memorial Installations Prove Self-Discipline Can Be As Powerful As Decoration.
Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen of Norm Architects explains that “restraint can be as powerful as decoration,” capturing the core philosophy of the exhibition.
Introducing the Conrad Lounge Table, designed for Audo by Laura Lange. Constructed of pressure-pressed veneer with solid wood edges, each joint of the new design is held in place with visible screws. Left as part of the face rather than hidden, it highlights the accuracy and reliability of the piece.
Introducing the Mauro Dining Chair, designed by Krøyer-Sætter-Lassen for Audo. Drawing on the atmosphere of Italian trattorias, where eating happens slowly and the spaces feel shaped by conversation rather than formality, the new chair design balances warmth with the restraint and clarity of Danish design.
Introducing the Puffin Dining Table, designed for Audo by Atelier Axo. First created for the Copenhagen restaurant Bobe, the design is based on conversations about the atmosphere and the experience of gathering around the table.
Designed by Norm Architects, the new Eave Seamline Lounge Chair continues the language of the Eave collections in one way. Its sculptural seat, upholstered in a variety of tactile fabrics, wraps the body with softness and structure.
The Penguin Wooden Lounge Chair by Ib Kofod-Larsen is defined by a compact silhouette shaped in proportion, material and comfort. A solid oak frame supports the semi-structured seating areas, creating a calm and balanced expression.
Introducing the Admiral Portable Lamp designed for Audo by Pernille Arlien-Søborg—a compact design with soft, diffused light designed to move easily between the table, terrace and shared space. Designed for evenings beyond one bedroom, the Admiral combines the softness of fabric with warm LED lighting.Seven new launches—chairs, tables and lamps from Norm Architects, Danielle Siggerud, Atelier Axo, Krøyer-Sætter-Lassen and other studios—sit shoulder to shoulder with Audo’s established pieces, setting up a silent dialogue between modern form, art and progressive art. Soft silhouettes, sculpted curves, solid timbers, natural weaves and expressive tonal materials—create an interior shaped by atmosphere, consciousness and human connection. Large-scale painted partitions and artwork by Mika Liebe add rhythm and depth to the architecture, moving the shop space closer to the stage set.
Developed with Norm Architects and art director Christian Møller Andersen, the concept is undoubtedly the work of the same minds behind it.Monuments– a shared sensibility built on the atmosphere and material.“This is where we meet,”runs Audo’s frame, and the whole house takes the cue.
Quiet Grandeur gave a preview of Danielle Siggerud’s outdoor collection for Audo.Beyond the great room, the program spreads widely in the Audo House. A presentation marking the 90th anniversary of Flemming Lassen’s The Tired Man serves as an emotional anchor, while the adjacent Cinema Room excavates the legacy of the Lassen brothers. There’s a cocktail and vinyl bar on stage with Copenhagen Destination Bird—all music and low lighting—and a courtyard preview of Danielle Siggerud’s upcoming outdoor collection for Audo.
What we value is self-control. Quiet Grandeur asserts that beauty and tranquility are not opposites—that the most enduring vision of modern life can be grounded, graceful and quietly assured. After the monuments, the next smart move: less spectacle, more atmosphere, and a Copenhagen house that knows how to draw a crowd.
