Jennifer Farrell Partners with Emser Tile for I.C.E. House Showhome Debuting at Coverings 2025

Furniture World News Desk on 4/29/2025


Designer and television host Jennifer Farrell has announced a new collaboration with Emser Tile as the official tile partner for her upcoming showhome project, I.C.E. House: Interconnected Changeable Environments. The announcement coincides with preparations for Coverings 2025, North America’s leading tile and stone event, taking place April 29–May 2 in Orlando, Florida.

I.C.E. House is a high-concept destination showhome designed as a multi-structure property showcasing adaptable living environments. The two-year project will culminate in Fall 2026 with the opening of the completed showhome in the South of France. Emser Tile will play an integral role in the project from concept to completion.

"Partnering with Emser Tile at I.C.E. House is a dream for me. I’ve created with Emser Tile for years, for both client projects and for showhomes, and they’ve always been a leader in innovation and design,” said Jennifer Farrell. “This collaboration is incredibly special because it’s not just a partnership – it’s a full realization of a showhome design vision I’ve been developing for decades, and Emser Tile will be front and center as that vision comes to life."

Jennifer and Emser have previously partnered on showhome projects, including Calibu Vineyard, and in February 2025 launched Livable Luxury by Jennifer Farrell, a new tile collection that will be used throughout I.C.E. House's four kitchens and eight bathrooms.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Jennifer once again,” said Kathy Greene, Director of Brand Strategy and Communications at Emser Tile. “Jennifer’s unique perspective and deep understanding of both design and product innovation make her an ideal partner.”

At Coverings 2025, Jennifer will unveil the immersive I.C.E. House Showhome Experience at the Coverings Lounge (Booth #4300), offering a visual preview of the future-forward project. The exhibit will feature multimedia displays, design presentations, and material samples, including selections from Emser Tile.

This year also marks Emser Tile’s first time exhibiting at Coverings, where it will present the Livable Luxury by Jennifer Farrell collection at Booth #4211.

Additional programming at the show includes:

  • "Surface Materials and the Home of the Future – Walk & Talk" sessions, led by Farrell at the I.C.E. House Showhome Experience, April 29–May 1, from 1:00–1:30 PM.
  • A self-guided Health & Wellness audio tour highlighting I.C.E. House materials.
  • An "I.C.E.-Themed Happy Hour & Giveaway", co-hosted by Farrell and the National Tile Contractors Association, on Thursday, May 1, from 4:00–5:30 PM at the Coverings Lounge.

"Whether seeking industry expertise, valuable contacts, or a moment to simply unwind from the bustling show floor, the Coverings Lounge offers showgoers the ideal blend of education, networking and relaxation," said Coverings Show Director Jamie Rich.
