Some evenings remind you just how special this industry can be.
Last week, we gathered to celebrate my dear friend Jennifer Farrell and her extraordinary vision for I.C.E. House in France.
Jennifer, your talent, intelligence, and generosity are something to celebrate. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the years of hard work, creativity, dedication, and heart you’ve poured into this project. Seeing your vision come to life makes me incredibly happy for you.
What made the evening even more special was being surrounded by so many talented designers, many of whom I’m fortunate to call friends. Different voices, different visions, and a genuine appreciation for one another. No competition, just mutual respect, friendship, and the joy of seeing each other succeed.
At one point, I jokingly called us “The Pentagon of Designers,” and we all had a good laugh. But behind the joke was something I truly value: a circle of talented people who genuinely support and celebrate one another.
There is something wonderful about being confident in your own work while wholeheartedly celebrating someone else’s.
Jennifer, thank you for bringing us together and for including me in such a special evening.
Here’s to you, to beautiful friendships, and to I.C.E. House.
See you in Bordeaux, May 2027! 🥂
