Kornbek-Engell Hansen said the New York City Audo House was envisaged as a hub to welcome a broader community.
“With Audo House New York, our goal was to create a dialogue between our Copenhagen roots and the distinctive character of New York. Located in a historic TriBeCa building, the space harmonizes Scandinavian calm with the raw texture and vibrant energy of the neighborhood — offering a setting where design, culture and community seamlessly come together,” he reflected. He said the U.S. is a buoyant market where the dialogue between design and hospitality continues to evolve.
“The American market has been at the forefront of blending hospitality and residential design — something that resonates deeply with Audo’s philosophy and the idea of creating spaces that feel both personal and experiential,” Kornbek-Engell Hansen said. For now, there are no other openings planned, as the firm is focused on scouting the right locations and formats that can support the full Audo experience — combining brand storytelling, professional engagement and hospitality-driven environments.
“While no specific openings have been officially announced, cities such as Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago are naturally interesting markets due to their strong architecture and design communities, as well as growing hospitality sectors,” he said.in April, Audo Copenhagen unveiled The Grand Café, an immersive architectural installation inspired by the spirit of Italy’s historic salons and which showcased the firm’s hospitality experience. Designed by Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen of Norm Architects in collaboration with Art Director Christian Møller Andersen, the space combined Italian historicism with the disciplined geometry of 1930s modernism.
