Audo has partnered with Copenhagen’s Bird to create an intimate bar experience at 3daysofdesign, shaped by music, hospitality, and atmosphere. The event, called Quiet Grandeur, is a series of experiences across Audo House that reinforces the brand’s vision of design as central to how people gather, connect, and feel.
Quiet Grandeur at Audo House
Last year, Audo House featured Monuments, a theatrical event that turned the historic Nordhavn building into a classical sculpture. This year, Quiet Grandeur takes a different approach, with a calmer, softer, and more enduring atmosphere that still runs on the same Nordic reading of classicism.
Audo House is the brand’s 1918 hybrid home in Nordhavn, part concept shop, café, boutique hotel, and headquarters. Each design week, Audo reworks the place entirely, and this year the concept shop becomes the central exhibition, reading as one cohesive interior rather than a product line-up.
New Designs at Quiet Grandeur
Quiet Grandeur features seven new launches, including chairs, tables, and lamps from Norm Architects, Danielle Siggerud, Atelier Axo, and other studios. These new pieces sit alongside established Audo pieces, setting up a quiet dialogue between contemporary form, craftsmanship, and enduring craft.
The new designs include the Conrad Lounge Table, designed by Laura Lange, which is crafted in form-pressed veneer with solid wood edges. The Mauro Dining Chair, designed by Krøyer-Sætter-Lassen, balances the warmth of Italian trattorias with the restraint and clarity of Danish design.
The Puffin Dining Table, designed by Atelier Axo, was first created for Copenhagen restaurant Bobe and is shaped through conversations about atmosphere and the experience of gathering around a table. The Eave Seamline Lounge Chair, designed by Norm Architects, continues the language of the Eave collections in a more singular form.
Audo’s Vision of Design
Audo’s vision of design is centered around how people gather, connect, and feel. Quiet Grandeur argues that grandeur and calm aren’t opposites—that an enduring idea of contemporary living can be grounded, graceful, and quietly self-assured.
The event features a presentation marking the 90th anniversary of Flemming Lassen’s The Tired Man, which acts as the emotional anchor. A nearby Cinema Room digs into the legacy of the Lassen brothers, and a courtyard preview of Danielle Siggerud’s forthcoming outdoor collection for Audo adds to the overall experience.
Quiet Grandeur is set apart by its restraint. The event is less about spectacle and more about atmosphere, creating a Copenhagen house that still knows exactly how to draw a crowd.
In comparison to similar events, Quiet Grandeur is calmer, softer and more enduring, yet it runs on the same Nordic reading of classicism that makes the brand’s work feel both ancient and entirely of the moment.
For the uninitiated, Audo House is the brand’s 1918 hybrid home in Nordhavn—part concept shop, café, boutique hotel and headquarters, all wrapped inside Norm Architects’ restrained interiors. Each design week, Audo reworks the place entirely, and this year the concept shop becomes the central exhibition, reading as one cohesive interior rather than a product line-up.

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 established Audo pieces, setting up a quiet dialogue between contemporary form, craftsmanship and enduring craft. Softened silhouettes, sculptural curves, solid timber, natural weaving and earthy tonal materials do the talking—creating interiors shaped by atmosphere, tactility and human connection. Large-scale painted dividers and artworks by Mika Liebe add rhythm and architectural depth, nudging the shop floor closer to a stage set.
Developed with Norm Architects and art director Christian Møller Andersen, the concept is unmistakably the work of the same minds behind Monuments — a shared sensibility that is both recognisable and innovative.
