Perhaps it’s a sign of the times, but a distinctly subdued palette is defining the latest crop of furnishings the world over. While this inclination is no doubt related to the abrupt global halt experienced during the early months of the pandemic, it’s also indicative of a larger shift in the landscape of contemporary design. In products ranging from sartorial partitions to graphic rugs and modular seating systems, designers are eschewing passing statements in favour of flexible keepsakes — ones that, like the sage green hues that adorn them, only get better with age. As Magis says of its latest release, Costume by Stefan Diez, these epochal yet adaptable offerings are at once “transformable and pragmatic.”

In our 300th issue, we look at the rich history of social housing in Vienna, exciting new commercial developments in Detroit, and how Naples has put art and architecture at the centre of its subway expansion.
The expectation that people will keep their heads down at their workstations from nine to five with the occasional jaunt to the water cooler or sojourn in a group meeting has gone the way of the cubicle. Offices, post-lockdown, need to be places that provide mental and spiritual sustenance. And those featured in this issue do exactly that.
In assembling the stories in this issue about circular design, one word kept coming up: value. By rethinking “value,” we’re also reclaiming our own values. If we want to strive for a healthier planet, one that is more ethical and sustainable, we have several examples to follow — and this issue is brimming with them.
In preparing this edition of Azure, the first of the year and the latest of our popular annual houses issues, we sought out to present a diversity of typologies.
When we think about home, we often think of its comforts — especially during the winter months. How can we craft interiors to maximize a sense of spiritual warmth? The stories in this issue present a myriad of approaches to sculpting space within a range of footprints.
From Toronto's landmark Ace Hotel to an inviting — and remarkably sustainable — furniture factory in Oslo, the most important new cultural projects have multiple raisons d’être. In our Sept/Oct 2022 issue, we celebrate the common goal at their hearts: bringing people in and together.
In our latest issue, we talk to professionals in Canada and around the world who are grappling with how to upend entrenched assumptions about the need for blood, sweat and tears in service of architecture.
Our Nov/Dec 2021 issue caps the year with inspiration for creating amazing residential interiors, with projects by Fala Atelier, REDO, Ben Allen Studio, Alain Carle Architecte, Productora and more.
