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.)

Emphasizing colour and geometric patterning, the two newest collections from Designtex introduce vibrancy and interest to contract and commercial spaces. The modern takes on embroidery use small complex woven stripes and grids to form large-scale motifs that are intersected by solid sections for visual relief, Handsome Plaid and Jumper boast multidimensional designs. 

Handsome Plaid is made by expert jacquard weavers in Germany and is an upholstery fabric suitable for large and small furniture pieces. The high-performance polyester and acrylic blend is bleach-cleanable and available in six nature-inspired colourways. 

Durable and colourfast (also a polyester and acrylic blend that allows cleaners and disinfectants to be used without harming the composition), Jumper is available in 12 colourways that were selected to be easily coordinated with other textiles, tones and materials.
