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.)

Gina Armchair by Maurizio Manzoni for Cierre 1972

Italian architect and designer Maurizio Manzoni modelled his Gina armchair after the organic structure of a tulip in bloom: Two petal-like cushions rise from the seat, forming an embracing and comfortable backrest. The seat itself is plump and forgiving, providing a stable and soft perch.

The expanded polyurethane foam cushion of the armchair can be covered in a range of fabrics in different colourways to introduce a vibrant or subdued hue; a variety of patterns and motifs are also offered.

Holding it all together is the rigid yet slender tubular metal frame, which can be powder-coated in 10 RAL colourways with a matte finish.

Elegant and charismatic, the shapely and inviting Gina armchair enlivens any interior setting.
