In May 2019, Scandinavian design label MENU moved into its new headquarters in Copenhagen in Denmark – creating a multifaceted meeting place where design brings people together. We took a closer look at The Audo and the concept behind this hybrid space, which merges home, work and hospitality.
Learn everything from one – at the new Audo headquarters
Since it was founded in 1978, MENU has been on a mission to create multifunctional spaces shaped by great design and focused on people. That same idea guided the design of The Audo. The name of the new headquarters is short for the Latin "Ab Uno Disce Omnes", which roughly means "from one, learn all" – a fitting symbol for its well thought-out concept.
But The Audo is much more than the headquarters of a well-known Danish design label. It's a place to come together, a varied mix of showroom, office, concept store, co-working space, hotel, event space, restaurant and café. Audo gives design lovers, creatives and curious visitors a place where they can learn from each other, benefit from each other and improve their lives together.
When many spaces become one
For its new headquarters, Audo occupies 2,500 square metres in Nordhavn, Copenhagen's up-and-coming harbour district, in a neo-baroque building from 1918 with a charm all of its own. Furnished with pieces by Audo and other carefully selected premium brands from around the world, it brings together a stylish, characterful and eclectic mix. Hotel rooms, workspaces, the café and more all have their place here, flowing into one another and united by a love of design.
