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.)

Kotte rug by Pappelina

Swedish rug-maker Pappelina has introduced two new designs – Kotte and Randy – to its portfolio. Made by hand at the company’s weaving mill in Leksand, Dalarna, all of the brand’s easy-to-clean sustainable rugs are woven from phthalate- and toxin-free PVC, UV- and water-resistant and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Meaning “pinecone” in Swedish, the Kotte rug features a Fibanocci-inspired pattern of repeating simple curved shapes that cascade across its surface. Offered in a palette of six earthy tones, the reversible rugs are woven using phthalate-free PVC ribbons with a polyester warp; welded edges reinforce the material structure. Available in six sizes.

Randy rug by Pappelina

With angled stripes running across a solid ground, Randy is the latest addition in the classic striped category.

Reminiscent of a handsome menswear fabric, this design is also made from PVC ribbons and polyester. Offered in three muted neutrals and four sizes.
