    The inspiration

    With the passage of time, vibrant hues mature into strong and eloquent autumnal tints. A visit to the ancient Fatehpur Sikri sheds light on the transformation of earthy terracotta and sandstone shades of the town’s heritage sites into a beautiful burnt sienna. An exquisitely warm and bold spectrum with a sun drenched glow emerges, bridging the gap between the eras.

    The features

    Norm Architects and Danish design brand Menu collaborated to create The Audo, a multipurpose facility that comprises a restaurant, coworking and events space, concept store as well as a hotel in Copenhagen. While its interior palette of browns, dusky peach and earthy reds spells elegance and warmth, it is the neo-baroque structure that references the glorious age of Greek and Roman styled buildings in Denmark during the early dawn of modernism.

    The accents

    We love how a metallic touch on burnt sienna results in copper tints—its burnished rosy glow the perfect counterpart to that spiced ruddy russet shade. This warm metal lends a touch of old world charm to contemporary spaces.
