Audo Copenhagen - Danish design quality for contemporary, global lifestyles

Audo Copenhagen predecessor Menu was founded in 1979 by Simon Hansen as "Danish Steel House". Starting with the production of high-quality kitchen and silver products, Menu landed an international bestseller in 1988 with the famous Irish coffee set by Bjarne Hansen and from then on focused on targeted cooperation with well-known designers.

Today, Audo Copenhagen stands for minimalist Scandinavian design, combined with first-class material quality and imaginative details, but also smart functionality and suitability for everyday use. Audo Copenhagen's designs reflect a century of Danish design tradition and combines that with a contemporary, innovative and global perspective. The design language of Audo Copenhagen combines a sense of innovation and zeitgeist that is firmly anchored in Modernist design history. The name Audo Copenhagen stands for a balance between past and future in connection with longevity, innovation and sustainability.

Audo Copenhagen's sustainability concept

When it comes to the production of furniture and accessories, Audo Copenhagen (formerly Menu) attaches great importance to the term "responsibility": Audo Copenhagen always strivings to live up to its own definition of responsible products. This includes the procurement of raw materials close to the market, which is to be increased from 26% to 39%; a policy which not only supports local companies but is a lower burden on the environment through reduced transport. By 2024, the company aims to offer a 10-year guarantee on 30% of its products, which will benefit customers and the environment alike.

Sustainable solutions are an integral part of corporate strategy and include global sustainability standards, responsible business models and fair partnerships. Internally, too, sustainable approaches are integrated into day-to-day business. Balanced growth of the brand, supply chain and staff are cornerstones of Audo Copenhagen's strategic approach to sustainability. The sensible use of resources is the focus of all areas of the Danish design label.

Environment, quality and community are important cornerstones of Audo Copenhagen's sustainability manifesto. Therefore, the sense of responsibility is reflected in all steps of the company. It is particularly important to mention that there is a 10-point plan that Audo Copenhagen products have to live up to. Longevity, production close to the market and responsible products are the cornerstones of the sustainability manifesto. Spare parts or tools such as screws etc. are also sold in order to increase the service life of the products and to think sustainably.
