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.)

With Backstitch, London-based studio Raw-Edges highlights the reverse side traditional embroidery techniques.

The seemingly random patterning has an actual methodical styling and reveals the delicate and intricate handiwork of GAN Women’s unit artisans. Three consecutive designs are included in the collection, each one a progression in the concept.

Calm has a smooth surface and almost solid appearance; the pattern of Busy is denser and uses more nuanced stitches; and Composition is the most art-like of the three and can be used as a tapestry. All three are available in two colours, Green and Brick.
