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.)

Cityscape 2.0 by HBF

A new modular seating solution for public spaces, Cityscape 2.0 by HBF offers an intriguing geometry defined by sophisticated detailing. Designed by New York City-based Todd Bracher, the system is comprised of multiple freestanding volumes that can linked together to create meandering configurations that can include 120- and 150-degree bends. 

Cityscape 2.0 by HBF

Meticulously measured straight and angled lines and mildly contrasting shapes give the arrangements a strong sense of place, which is enhanced by pointed back cushions that contribute to the overall casual feel. 

Able to support both individuals working alone and small collaborative groups, the modules can be arranged side-to-side and back-to-back with pentagon ottomans; optional rectangular tables (available with or without power) can be integrated to help delineate seats and provide both surfaces and storage. The tables can also be elevated with secondary circular or rectangular tops set on short metal tube legs to create additional raised surfaces. 

The foam-constructed modules can be upholstered in a wide range of HBF Textiles – while residentially inspired, the fabrics are durable enough for high-traffic settings.
