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.)

Dress Code Chair by Gumdesign

Dress Code represents the first-ever chair by Italian studio Gumdesign, the multidisciplinary firm known for its approach that blurs the lines between design, graphics and architecture. Inspired by haute couture fashion, the generously proportioned seat is noticeable for its strong colours, tactile qualities and structural integrity.
