What’s Inside:
Super-green design, hospitality products, outdoor furniture and lighting!
Celebrating manufacturers, designers and projects that raise the bar on ecological materials, processes and performance
In this special edition of Azure, we dig deep into sustainability by focusing on circular design and architecture – that is, design and architecture dedicated to the full life cycle of products and buildings. We spend time with PearsonLloyd, the London, UK, duo working to create transformative collections with such brands as Arconas, Teknion and Lufthansa. And we feature case studies of architecture projects – from Studio Weave’s London library made with felled city trees to 3XN/GXN’s Sydney skyscraper that upcycles an existing tower – that reimagine green construction.
