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.)
While pared-back and somewhat simple, the Picket Chair by German designer Michael Schoner boasts an unexpected detail: The backrest and seat intersect with an optical lightness, the two elements appearing to hover in place.
Made from oiled bamboo by Dutch design brand Weltevree, the seat can withstand the elements with grace.
