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.
