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.)

Originally designed for textile manufacturers Febrik and Kvadrat’s 2020 exhibition “Knit project!,” Big Talk by Syndey-based designer Adam Goodrum for Blå Station is a bold, colourful and inviting seating system that can be used alone or grouped together.

Consisting of a thick 42-centimetre-tall seat surrounded by a tubular arm and backrest (both made of moulded foam), the plush chair is finished in a series of vibrant bands of alternating fabric that creates a “spectrum of graduated coloured bands” across the back according to Goodrum.

Each Big Talk chair is also designed to abut one another, resulting in an undulating S-shaped configuration that references Victorian love seats. A wide range of Febrik upholstery in various colourways is available.
