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.)

Artistic Elements Carpet Tile Collection J+J Flooring

For the new Artistic Elements carpet tile collection, J+J Flooring looked to the foundational building blocks of art for inspiration – line, shape, colour, value, texture and form.

Balance in Baltic; at top, Rhythm and Balance in Cinder Smoke

The two complementary patterns within the Artistic Elements carpet tile collection – Balance and Rhythm – combine simple and basic notes with more complex and subtle nuances that recall paintbrush strokes, resulting in a sophisticated offering for installations in a range of commercial and contract settings.

Rhythm and Balance in Marine

With the Balance carpet tiles, symmetry is key. A hand-sketched plaid is duplicated and mirrored across the surface, with slight tonal and light variations adding dimension. Rhythm, meanwhile, expresses the harmony of artistic elements with subdued striae that bring visual interest and consistency.

Both patterns within the Artistic Elements carpet tile collection are available in 60.9-by-60.9-centimetre formats and are made using tufting technology that enhances the visual depth of the yarn. Balance and Rhythm can be used separately or together to create zones and wayfinding in retail, workplace, commercial rental and real estate properties and more.

Comprised of J+J Flooring’s Encore SD Ultima nylon fibre, the carpet tiles have maximum motif retention, exceptional colour performance and sustainability; the Artistic Elements collection comes standard with Nexus Modular backing. Both Balance and Rhythm are available in eight colourways that include broad neutrals, cool and warm tones, blues, greens and a teal – Moonstone, Toasted Almond, Cinder Smoke, Sandlewood, Marine, Baltic, Inkwell and Nightfall.
