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.)

The Rebellion III wallpapers are available through Black Crow Studios’s quick-ship mural program and are digitally printed on its newest substrate — Raw Texture, a PVC-free wallcovering that features the tactility of handmade paper — as well as its signature Smooth Matte material, which is suitable for contract-grade applications.

Aimée Hironaka Juteau’s patterns are Big Basin, Crystal Cove, Death Valley, El Capitan, Granite Ridge, Mariposa, Monterey, Point Reyes, Redwoods, San Gabriel, San Joaquin, Sequoia and Yosemite. Claudia A. Nicholas’s patterns are Anza-Borrego, Half Dome, Mammoth, Morro Bay and Trinity Alps. Rendered in a diverse palette of moody and evocative colourways like Willow, Orchid Mist, Hemlock, Harvest, Cinnabar and more, the individual patterns have abstract expressions that walk the line between modern, organic and luxurious.
