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.)

Patch Sofa

Inviting, friendly, casual and sumptuous – these are the qualities represented by Patch Sofa, a new modular sofa system designed by Chris Martin, Designer in Chief and founder of Massproductions.

Patch Sofa is characterized by its distinctive lozenge shaped backrest panels and features a construction that minimizes the use of polyurethane foam, incorporating steel springs from the bedding industry and clever corners.

Patch Sofa

“By replacing large volumes of foam with pocket springs we were able to not only save resources but also facilitate a comfort superior to regular foams and webbing straps. The springs give a buoyant experience with no dead zones.” – Chris Martin, Designer In Chief.

An up turned duffle bag, a moc toe boot, a string of sausages – all of these influences are relevant to the design expression of the sofa with its distinctive lozenge shaped “patches”. The rounded forms of the top panels soften the large volumes of the seating and backrest modules, giving Patch its distinctive character. 

Patch Sofa

“A massive sofa system isn’t the type of product that a young company would launch, we are almost out of our teenage years now, and in the context of our collection Patch just seems to fill a space and fit.” – Magnus Elebäck, Creative Director and Founder.
