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.)

Meet the top brass from Chemetal.

Brass is a fascinating metal — it’s alive, historic, and luxurious. In design spaces it can work as a burst of energy or as a classic material that instills permanence. Chemetal offers an impressive collection of brass for interior spaces.

By hand and machine, Chemetal ages and antiques brass designs at their factory in Western Massachusetts. They dip, darken and brush sheets of brass. The goal is a beautiful design material with a manufacturing consistency.

Brass looks in anodized aluminum are also available from Chemetal. This process creates a protective coating as part of the aluminum surface. It’s a popular and widely used material.

Colour pigments are added during the manufacturing process to make aluminum look like brass, or other metals. Though not as rich as real brass, these metals are good looking, durable, light in weight and affordable.

The best way to meet the top brass from Chemetal? Order samples. You’ll see all the hue and brushing distinctions.
