The reason to make a magazine in 2026 hasn’t changed since 2007. We still believe in objects that took a long time to make and reward a long time looking at. We still believe in pages that earn their place on a shelf. We still believe in a deadline that arrives twice a year and not twelve times.
This Ultimate Awards Issue is, as ever, our half-yearly accounting. The people who moved a needle. The places that earned their stay. The objects that were worth the wait. And, candidly, the ones that didn’t.
