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.)

For their first collaboration with Wiener GTV Design, Leonardo and Marzia Dainelli of Milan-based Dainelli Studio crafted a minimal, 1970s inspired collection of soft seating that works equally as well in residential spaces as the contract market it was conceived for. 

Characterized by refined lines and a strong contemporary rigour, the two- and three-seater sofas and lounge chair that comprise the series reveal a focused attention to detail: slender solid wood poles form the feet, rising up to then frame and support the upholstered armrests, with both ends of the rod finished with a decorative brass semi-circular cap. 

Dense polyurethane memory foam filling in the back and seat cushions creates a comfortable perch with unexpectedly slim proportions. Steam-curved beech wood arches connect the frame and legs; all wood is black-lacquered to create a sophisticated contrast to the range of upholstery options available.
