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.)

Aura Lighting Collection Bandido Studio

Designed by Puebla, Mexico’s Bandido Studio, the Aura lighting collection expertly balances materials, textures and colours in a completely compelling way. 

An exploration of both artisanal and industrial techniques, the lamps are made from a combination of walnut wood — chosen for its unique grain — and porcelain steel, a traditional material commonly applied to utilitarian objects.

With the Aura lighting collection, the everyday material is elevated to celebrate the beauty of imperfection, while the warm light itself is dispersed through the luminaire’s body. 

Bandido Studio’s Aura lighting collection includes table and wall lamps as well as pendants, with each variant rendering the materials in individual and nuanced ways.
