Geometric beauties fit for the home

Above: READY FOR TAKE OFF

Get some floor action with this hand-tufted wool Kaleidoscope rug, and see hundreds of hexagons transition from earth tones to asphalt greys, and finally to warm greens and deep blues. From $795, at BoConcept, 230 Adelaide St E

HIDDEN GEM

A repeating diamond pattern disguises Kate Spade’s signature bow tie motif. Formalities are unnecessary, though: the Castle Peak stoneware collection is ready for daily duty, including everything for the regular kitchen – even a cookie jar. From $15, at William Ashley China, 55 Bloor St W

EXTREME MEASURES

This top-heavy, powder-coated steel table lamp is all about unlikely proportions. Inspired by Microsoft Excel, its pencil-thin wooden leg nods to both the functionality and the basic lines of spreadsheets’ graphs and charts. $570, at Lightform, 267 Niagara St

SURFACE VALUE

Math phobics, beware: the abundance of acute angles in Cole & Son’s Facet covering looks like a trigonometry problem. In blue and monochrome, it’s actually the perfect answer to a staid wall or even a credenza. $750/7 panels, at Primetime Paints & Paper, 299 Queen St E

THROWDOWN

From her Dundas West studio, textile maestro Bev Hisey colour-blocks traditional handwoven cotton into square plots of bright magenta, lavender and mute yellow. Throw a couple on the couch for a geometric twist. $130, at Everydayhousewife, 1066 Dundas St W

Entrants have until February 13th to submit their best work

It’s that time of year again! The 2026 AZ Awards is officially open for submissions. Recognizing international design excellence from the world’s top architects and designers, the 11 main categories are: Design, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interiors, Urban Design, Experiential Graphic Design, Concepts, Emerging, A+ Award for Student Work, Social Good and Environmental Leadership. Last year, AZURE inaugurated the EMERGING Awards to celebrate up-and-coming firms established within the past 10 years in each of the four top categories: Design, Architecture, Landscape and Interiors. Plus, there are more Interiors categories than ever (including Retail & Hospitality, Healthcare, Workspace and Institutional) as well as one recently added in Design (Housewares and Tech Products) — and AZURE will publish its extensive longlist online ahead of the jury-selected shortlist, celebrating a greater spectrum of excellent projects.
