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.)

An update to Helsinki designer Timo Ripatti’s original 2016 large-scale lamp series, U-Light now features a sound-absorbing panel to provide both illumination and an acoustic solution. 

Available upon request, the noise-dampening and lightweight insertion is made from malleable PET (with a thickness of 25 millimetres) and is able to absorb the high and medium frequencies that can disrupt large, open spaces, including restaurants, waiting areas, offices and other hospitality and contract environments. 

A graphic interplay of circular elements, U-Light’s main structure is painted aluminum (in several colours and sizes) and features an opalescent diffuser for an amiable illumination; the LED source emits a soft-white dimmable light. Combining cutting-edge technology with craftsmanship, the collection also includes suspension, wall and ceiling models.
