In a NYCxDESIGN special, the pod squad assembles live at the Audo Copenhagen showroom in Tribeca for an in-person conversation with 3rd generation member of the founding family, Joachim Kornbek Engell-Hansen. In this wide-ranging conversation in front of a live audience, we get into the evolution of the Audo brand, the many ways in which design innovation is achieved through collaboration with different kinds of partners, and the impetus for the re-branding of MENU and by Lassen to Audo Copenhagen, as announced during the recent International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York.
