Merkur dining chair with armrest, oak

Audo Copenhagen's Merkur dining armchair was originally designed for the Oslo Stock Exchange, one of Norway's most famous buildings. A hint at this is in fact given already by the chair's name which refers to Mercurius, the god of financial gain and commerce in Roman mythology. The design studio Skogstad & Wærnes wanted to create a chair that would honour the centuries-long history of the prestigious building, but also make an impact outside it. The Merkur dining chair's soft lines, timeless design and elegant look of oak with its exposed wood grain patterns make the chair a perfect companion for home kitchens and offices, as well as restaurants, meeting rooms and lobbies.

Audo Copenhagen was born in 2023 when two well-known Danish brands, By Lassen and MENU, joined forces. The outcome of this collaboration is a contemporary and versatile lifestyle brand that focuses on furniture, lighting and interior products. Drawing inspiration from Danish design traditions and global influences, Audo Copenhagen's collection consists of familiar pieces from the By Lassen and MENU portfolios, as well as fresh designs from visionary creators. The brand places a spotlight on high-quality materials, meticulously crafted details and a clean, understated aesthetic. Audo Copenhagen is based in The Audo, a hybrid space in Copenhagen that revolves around design.
