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.)

Automatic chair

Able to go anywhere at anytime, the Automatic chair by American multidisciplinary designer Cory Grosser was inspired by a somewhat unlikely source — the philosophizing Peanuts character Linus, or, more specifically, his ever-present security blanket. Lightweight and super soft, the Bernhardt Design seat features an integrated pull strap (in fabric or leather) and spring-loaded, self-locking castors that make it easy to transport wherever a seat may be needed.

Generous in scale and defined by rounded edges, the Automatic chair is made with a moulded foam double shell, which can be upholstered to match or contrast the interior cushions and pull strap. Ideal for open spaces, the chair’s welcoming design can be easily be moved to a quiet corner or arranged in groupings, efficiently balancing both individual and communal seating needs.
