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.)

Giro outdoor chair by Kettal

When conceiving his Giro outdoor collection for Kettal, Belgian designer Vincent Van Duysen was inspired by the humble rope. Rather than using the natural material, however, Van Duysen opted for sustainable and recycled polypropylene.  

The highly durable material has flexibility and texture, resulting in a comfortable and inviting series in both look and feel. Working with Kettal-developed technology, the designer paid significant attention to the details — the twist of the rope, its thickness, stitching and sewing — to create a sturdy webbing that is wrapped around a slender teak wood frame. 

Kettal’s Giro collection includes armchairs and coffee tables and is suitable for use outdoors and indoors.
