ELECTRIC FEEL
Rio’s airy eucalyptus frame, gently curving resin slats and nautical rope handle at the back have us all charged up. Brazilian designer Carlos Motta’s pragmatic Finnish training meets Rio de Janeiro’s racy summers in this dynamic blue number. $430, at Avenue Road, 415 Eastern Ave

patio chairs
MODERN MUSKOKA
Keep it parked lakeside on this twist of the cottage staple. The Lollygagger’s poppy coral and angular slats are crafted out of recycled polyethylene, with just enough arm room for a cocktail. $440, at Hauser, 218 Merton St

THE CHASE
Claim poolside status on Indecasa’s milk-white chaise. Its arched curve, teak arms and UV-resistant fabric will keep you cool and comfy in the middle of a heat wave. From $3030, at Design Within Reach, 435 King St W

patio chairs
SELF DEFENCE
Fall into Blow Up’s plush, lemon-yellow cushions and chill. The Sunbrella upholstery won’t fade, and the protective hood (stashed underneath the skinny black aluminum frame) will keep the chair safe from freakish summer storms. $1350, at Jardin de Ville, 44 Sherbourne St

RAISE THE BAR
Kartell’s indoor-outdoor Masters chair was elevated—literally—into this whimsical bar stool. Intersecting, wiry lines make up the ergonomic backrest, while a wide seat provides extra legroom. $565, at Plan b office, 380 King St E

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.
