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.)

Inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese tradition of repairing broken pottery using metallic inks, this collection of resilient flooring tiles highlights the beauty in imperfection. The two lines within the series – Oxidized and Molten – riff on industrial concrete and the patina of natural surfaces through the injection of soft metallic accents. 

Oxidized, as its name implies, features a mottled or weathered pattern reminiscent of naturally occurring rust that transform the light within a space by creating subtle reflections. Seven colours are available ranging from turquoise and travertine to sapphire and basalt. 

Utilizing an embossing process, Molten mimics the texture of stone surfaces complete with crevices that are emphasized with metallic inks. The seven stone-like options include alabaster, quartz, shale and obsidian.

The 60-by-60-centimetre tiles are five millimetres thick, allowing for seamless installation alongside carpet without transition strips.
