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.)

Bjelin Woodura Herringbone 2.0 flooring collection

Swedish flooring brand Bjelin has introduced the new Woodura Herringbone 2.0 collection as a modern interpretation of a timeless classic.

Highly durable, the Woodura Herringbone 2.0 collection from Bjelin is engineered with patented Woodura technology and an advanced 5G floor locking system, which imparts three times the strength and dent-resistance of traditional wood floors.

The specialized technology compresses and hardens wood, which results in superior strength and a surface that never needs to be sanded. Thinner surface layers are used during production to create ten times more flooring than typical methods, making this option cost-effective while also minimizing environmental impact.

Woodura Herringbone 2.0 has a moisture-resistant Välinge Compositek wood core, which is made by fusing the veneer and core with a unique powder mix to create a transition zone. This provides the material with a higher surface density and improved swelling. 

Residential space with dining set and herringbone oak floors

Available in larger format panels of 54.6 by 8.8 centimetres, the flooring is an ideal option for spacious rooms. A further benefit is the brand’s 5G click technology that makes for less labour-intensive and DIY installations with no gaps between the panels without glue or nails. Multiple patterns can be achieved during installation, including traditional herringbone, double, triple, ladder and blocks.  

Office with green walls and herringbone oak floors

The Woodura Herringbone 2.0 collection from Bjelin has a pro matte finish surface treatment to make the panels extremely durable and therefore suitable for high-traffic commercial spaces as well as residential. Three colourway options are available: Misty White, Natural and Earth Gray.
