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.)

Riffing on familiar details found in two of the world’s most iconic cities – New York and London – designer David Oakey’s carbon-neutral carpeting collection introduces urban-inspired patterns and palettes to commercial and contract settings. 

Subway grates, anti-slip sidewalk pavers, glass vault lights and distressed metals are interpreted in six patterns and eight coordinating colourways, which can be used independently or combined to create distinct zones and wayfinding. 

While Wheler Street, Old Street, Dover Street and Reade Street reference urban textures like asphalt, worn metal and distressed pavement (in a variety of scales), Mercer Street has an unconventional grid pattern and Broome Street brings in a dose of contemporary colour; all of the nylon carpet tiles are 50 x 50 cm.
