Audo Copenhagen Pavot Centerpiece

The Audo Copenhagen Pavot Centerpiece brings that perfect combination of looking impressive on your table while actually being useful for everyday life. Designed by Colin King, this elongated bowl draws inspiration from the delicate form of a poppy seed head - you can see it in that footed base and the way the soft curves create this organic silhouette. The brown bronzed finish adds rich, vintage character that photographs beautifully but honestly looks even better in person where you can see how it catches light throughout the day. At 48.2cm wide, 24.4cm deep, and 13.5cm high, it's substantial enough to anchor a dining table or console without being so large that it dominates everything around it. The sculptural form means it works as a standalone decorative object when empty, or as a catch-all vessel for keys, mail, remotes, and all those everyday objects that usually just pile up on surfaces.

What makes the Pavot genuinely functional beyond just looking good is how that elongated shape and shallow depth make it perfect for corralling items without them disappearing into a deep bowl where you can never find anything. Works beautifully on entryway consoles for keys and sunglasses, on coffee tables for remotes and coasters, or on dining tables filled with decorative objects like pine cones, ornaments, or seasonal displays. The footed base lifts it slightly off the surface, giving it presence and making it easier to clean underneath. The bronzed finish is forgiving - it hides fingerprints and minor scratches better than polished metals, developing character over time rather than just looking worn. Note that it's not approved for food use, so this is purely for decorative or organizational purposes rather than serving snacks. The timeless elegance means it works whether you're going minimalist and modern or mixing it into more eclectic spaces with vintage pieces.

Audo Copenhagen was formed by uniting MENU, by Lassen, and The Audo, creating a brand that collaborates with designers who bring unique perspectives from unexpected backgrounds. Colin King, professionally trained as a dancer, found himself at the intersection between a dancer's spatial awareness and a stylist's impulse to bring spaces to life before moving into product design. Based in Tribeca, New York City, he balances styling for major publications like Architectural Digest and T Magazine with designing from his studio. His work is continuously inspired by life's everyday rituals, gestures, and imperfections - made beautiful by their evolving presence within spaces. The Pavot Centerpiece reflects this philosophy, blending modern minimalism with traditional charm to create objects that enhance daily life through thoughtful design rather than just adding more decorative items
