A Magnificent Merge: How Menu, By Lassen, and The Audo Became Audo Copenhagen
Rebrands take place every day, but none perhaps more remarkable than the merger of Menu, By Lassen, and The Audo. These Danish powerhouses of design formed a fusion design house in 2023, presenting all their furniture, lighting and home accessories under one roof as Audo Copenhagen.
This merger represents over 100 years of traditional Danish design meeting modern perspectives that strive for evolution in contemporary design.
The new brand is named after Menu’s Copenhagen showroom The Audo, which is now known as Audo House and serves as Audo Copenhagen’s headquarters.
Design and brand director at Audo Copenhagen, Joachim Kornbek-Engell Hansen, describes the new Audo House HQ in Copenhagen as “redefining how we use design, space and, ultimately, how we connect to one another, it’s a creative destination for powerful ideas, beautiful design and inspiration.”
Danish Design Philosophy
Audo Copenhagen is shaped by human needs, and each contemporary design aims to solve everyday problems and enhance beauty. The focus on minimalistic Scandinavian design masterfully unites functionality with aesthetically pleasing pieces.
The brand often collaborates with renowned designers like Norm Architects, creating high-quality furniture and lighting solutions with a global outlook, blending Danish heritage with modern innovation and contemporary style.
What sets Audo Copenhagen apart from other brands is that their designs are contemporary, innovative, and aesthetically pleasing, creating space and harmony in any room—making them ideal for modern homes and hotels.
The brand’s designs are influenced by the Latin phrase “Ab Uno Disce Omnes” (from one, teach all), fostering idea exchange and creative inspiration.
The Audo Residence
One of the most interesting parts about uniting Menu, By Lassen, and The Audo merger into Audo Copenhagen is the Audo Residence, featuring a design studio, hotel, and restaurant, providing an exclusive residence for guests in a fabulous location.
The Audo Residence is a unique concept, combining a hotel, the Audo restaurant, and design studio, all located in the heart of lovely Copenhagen. The residence offers spacious rooms and suites with private bathrooms, modern facilities, and free WiFi, providing a comfortable and convenient stay for guests who want to sleep amongst style.
The Design Rooms offer customers a new way to appreciate the great design of Audo Copenhagen, with furniture by Audo Copenhagen, books, artworks and home accessories.
It features a family-friendly restaurant/café, coffee shop, a cozy bar, and a terrace with outdoor seating for breakfast with a view. The property was built on hospitality, and the food and drink offered is the perfect way to relax during a city break.
Guests can enjoy easy access from the building to nearby attractions in the town, suitable for night or day, including Svanemolle Beach, Rosenborg Castle, Parken Stadium, and the Little Mermaid.
