Exploring Timeless Design at 3daysofdesign
This June, during the 3daysofdesign event in Copenhagen, Audo Copenhagen revealed Quiet Grandeur, an exhibition that celebrated a lasting, sensory-driven approach to modern living. This occasion highlights Audo Copenhagen’s fall themes, showcasing their dedication to craftsmanship. The collaboration with local firm Norm Architects and creative director Christian Møller Andersen served as a prelude to their much-anticipated Fall 2026 collection. These six newly crafted pieces are a tribute to the tradition of hospitality, beautifully woven with the timeless allure of natural materials.
Dining Elevated: The Mauro Chair and Puffin Table
Drawing inspiration from the founders of Krøyer-Sætter-Lassen, the Mauro Dining Chair emerged, influenced by casual Italian hospitality at Milan’s Trattoria Bolognese da Mauro. Its design fuses Scandinavian minimalism with relaxed proportions, encouraging long, leisurely meals. Accompanying the chair is the Puffin Dining Table, Audo’s first collaboration with Atelier Axo. Initially designed for Copenhagen’s Bobe restaurant, its clean lines and oak craftsmanship evoke the simplicity of Shaker furniture and the warmth of country kitchens.

Modernist Influences and Japanese Inflections
Paying homage to Danish modernism, the updated Penguin Wooden Lounge Chair by the iconic Ib Kofod-Larsen enters the collection. Available in natural or red-stained oak, its compact form reflects the elegance that defined Kofod-Larsen’s mid-century mastery. Another highlight is the Conrad Lounge Table by Laura Lange, which embraces Japanese aesthetics with its form-pressed oak veneer and raised solid wood edge, creating a blend of softness and structural integrity.
Cocooning Comfort: The Eave Seamline Lounge Chair
The Eave Seamline Lounge Chair, an extension of the celebrated Eave sofa series by Norm Architects, offers a standalone retreat. Its inward-folding armrests and precise seam detailing make it a versatile choice for both homes and hospitality environments.

Completing the collection is the Admiral Portable Lamp by Pernille Arlien-Søborg. Designed for the Admiral Hotel Copenhagen, this rechargeable lamp offers a subtle, warm 2700K glow via a linen shade. It seamlessly integrates into its surroundings, enhancing the ambiance of a space without overwhelming it.
