Your Feedback

Reaction to our annual AZ

Awards issue (July/August) is

always enthusiastic, especially

among those recognized for

their work. This year, many of

the winners and Award of Merit

recipients also swung by the

AZ Awards gala, held on June

21 in Toronto, to collect their

trophies, flying in from locations

as far-flung as Latin America and

Europe. Representing Belgium

was designer Leo Aerts, whose

Angelo M table was both a final-

ist and the People’s Choice in the Furniture category. “I enjoyed the gala

very much,” he told us afterward. “A splendid location, beautiful weather,

good food and wine.” Speaking of Angelo M, it wasn’t inspired by Eero

Saarinen’s Tulip table, as stated in the issue, but by the work of architect

Angelo Mangiarotti. Sorry about that, Leo! Please send your comments to

What colours or

materials do you find

most appealing in a

residential interior?

ANA DOMÍNGUEZ SIEMENS

Writer, “Stepping to It” (page 72)

White, white, white. It’s the perfect

background for all kinds of furniture,

art and objects, and it’s common in the

traditional houses of the Canary Islands,

which is where I come from!

What iconic piece of

furniture would you

most like to have in

your own home?

SIMON LEWSEN

Writer, “Pattern Test” (page 64)

I’d have to choose Le Corbusier’s

Casiers Standard – a classic modular

shelving unit. It’s everything that

good design should be: subtle,

useful, versatile and compatible

with almost any interior style, from

a grubby New York loft to a tony

boutique hotel.
