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.)

Cologne, Germany-based industrial design firm Studio Meike Harde took celestial inspiration when creating the Proxima pendant lamp for Please Wait to be Seated.

Named for earth’s “next-nearest star,” Proxima Centauri in the Centaurus constellation, the hanging globe diffuses an otherworldly and intimate light through its unique composition.

The fixture is made from three blended-steel sheets of mesh resulting in hundreds of transparent apertures that disperse the light in every direction to create a cozy and atmospheric illumination.

The Proxima pendant lamp is available in full brass or as a three-colour option in brass, red and grey. It arrives flat-packed and is easily assembled.
