Summer 2026

The June/July/August 2026 edition of AZURE is dedicated to our 16th annual AZ Awards — and also features the best of Milan, the New Museum’s expansion, the latest in building envelope systems and more!

The AZ Awards issue packs much more than our winners and finalists — though they certainly take pride of place. (And you can read all about them on our dedicated AZ Awards site.)

One Light, Infinite Possibilities: An Installation + Conversation with Luceplan & Vantot

Discover the innovative Liiu lighting system in action!

Register here! Panel discussion takes place at 11:00 am.

Founded in 1978 by three architects, Luceplan specializes in daring designs made possible by innovative technical engineering. Its latest introduction, Liiu, is a perfect example. Developed by the Dutch duo Vantot, the lighting system fastens acrylic lampshades to barely-there electrified tension cables held in place by bold black counterweights. The result is pure sculptural poetry — and the configuration possibilities are endless, ranging from radiant circular rings to cascading waterfalls of light.

Liiu by Luceplan

This spring, Luceplan will demonstrate the beauty and versatility of Liiu in a dramatic takeover of Standard Shop’s Toronto design hub. To celebrate the installation, Vantot’s Esther Jongsma and Luceplan’s Marco Cavalieri are joining Azure in conversation to discuss Luceplan’s design philosophy and ongoing evolution, as well as the development of Liiu and the creative opportunities made possible by this exciting new lighting system. See you there!
