Welcome to Storyflo Daily Design. I'm Dana.
The most-visited new design space in NYC this week: per Dezeen, Danish design brand Audo Copenhagen opened its first Audo House showroom outside Scandinavia — inside a landmarked New York City building on Laight Street, with interiors by Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen of Norm Architects. The opening coincides with NYCxDesign 2026. Audo House will display a rotating collection of furniture and objects and host events.
