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.)

With Plinth Grand, Danish studio Norm Architects presents a large-scale podium-style table that showcases the beauty of natural stone. 

The fourth format in the Plinth series, the new, amped-up version is a perfectly formed rectangle and can be used in myriad ways, from a scene-stealing coffee table to a beautiful platform for displaying treasured objects and more. 

Assembled by hand with precision craftsmanship, the monolithic designs have perfect geometric alignment and are available in four varieties of marble — Nero Marquina, Grey Kendzo, Carrara and Calacatta Viola — each with unique and pronounced veining.

A fifth material option is Kunis Breccia stone, a sedimentary rock that is visually defined by embedded mineral and rock fragments.

Plinth Grand joins three other versions — the original Low along with Tall and Cubic — each featuring a light-reflecting surface finish that elevates interiors in an undeniably sophisticated way.
