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.)

Brooklyn-based lighting studio RBW’s latest addition to its portfolio is Latis, as high-performance linear system that offers multifaceted functionality in a minimalist profile. 

Referencing a structural I-beam, the extruded aluminum fixtures with acrylic lenses have engineered internal drivers and visually integrated sensors to offer multiple illumination solutions. Ranging from a narrow beam to a 4.8-metre span, the system means fewer fixtures are needed and a lower wattage is used while maintaining maximum spatial coverage.

With the capability to be installed as a single beam or configured in hexagonal, zigzagging and square arrangements (joined by easy-to-use angle connectors), the scalable designs can be specified with direct and indirect lighting combinations in different temperatures.

Four linear runs are available, ranging from 1.2 to 2.4 metres in length, in a standard palette of five colourways (Black, Blue, Natural, Chalk Pink and Matte White) with custom-colouring also available.
