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.)

Single-sided Escea fireplaces can be placed just about anywhere, including underneath a window, within an external wall, in an island, tucked into a corner or in the middle of an open space to serve as a room divider.

The single- and double-sided Escea KS55 Mesh Barrier gas fireplace features innovative heat technology that directs warmth out the front without the need for ductwork. With no distracting grills, the minimalist design puts the focus on the burning fire; for enhanced safety, the room-sealed glass window is finished with a mesh screen barrier.

Both the KS55 Mesh Barrier and the KS75 Glass Barrier gas fireplaces have a Zero Clearance rating with flexible venting options and a diverse palette of cladding materials, ranging from marble to timber. The low clearance also allows for a TV to be installed a mere 20 centimetres above the fireplace.
