About Us
AU • DEN • ZA
To be bold, daring or courageous.
Life’s too short to live in a beige box. It’s time to unleash the colour, release the kitsch and surround ourselves with pieces we love. It’s time to create homes that are as beautiful and unique as we are. We hear you. We are Audenza, ‘The ones who dare’.
We’d all like a home to be proud of. A home that puts a smile on our face the moment we walk through the door. A home that is a reflection of ourselves. So we’re here to tell you…
Be bold, be brave, be you.
Audenza is founded by three colourful women passionate about empowering others to have the courage to fearlessly embrace their own interiors style and to design a truly fabulous home #livefabulousandfearless.
Simply buying a product is not where the journey ends, and for some, knowing how to make the product look just as good in your own home can be tricky. Which is why we set up our now award winning interiors and lifestyle blog to offer expert advice for styling, inspiration and designing your own fabulous home.
Meet the Founders
Originally called MiaFleur, and launched in 2012 by Jacqui, Hollie and Amelia Brooks. Audenza is an award winning online homeware boutique; created to add edge, style and interest to the homes of interesting people. Selling a fabulously quirky selection of homewares which ooze character and scream fearless style. Think iconic, bold and statement furniture, accented with eclectic, unique and ever so slightly eccentric home accessories.
Co-founder, elective mute (not quite, but let’s just say she’s happy to let Hollie do the talking), creative, photographer, trash TV addict, rather short.
Amelia is an oxymoron. She’s creative AND logical minded.
She heads up the creative side of things at Audenza; a self-taught photographer, you’ll often find Amelia photographing our new products or designing some fancy mood boards for the blog. But she probably achieves more before 9am than most people Hollie or Jacqui achieve in a whole day.
Co-Founder, mum of five (now grown-up) children, former potato merchant (yes, really), trained textile designer, stylist.
Jacqui, to those who know her, is 'Super Woman', quite literally a hero among women. She has five children, all only two years apart and whilst they were all still at school, somehow on top of all of that, managed to get through three years of full time education, to gain herself a degree in Textile Design.
Jacqui is the glue that holds Audenza together. She’s a fabulous writer (though she will vehemently deny that), and our resident stylist.
Co-founder, resident talker (Amelia and Jacqui haven’t gotten a word in edgeways for at least 20 years), marketer, public speaker, gangly limbs, dreamer.
Hollie’s a dreamer. She lies in bed at night coming up with weird and wonderful ideas and then proceeds to email them all to Amelia and Jacqui at some silly hour in the morning. Forever thinking of a ‘big’ idea; her desk is as messy as her mind, but fortunately between Amelia’s militant organisation and Hollie’s love of marketing, they’re a perfect combo.
