Three days of discovery. Connections that last well beyond the Summit!!

We’re looking back at more moments from the 2026 Future Designers Summit, where interior, furniture and product design students from across the country explored new ideas, learned alongside industry professionals and built friendships with fellow future designers.

The opportunity to ask questions, experience the industry firsthand and imagine where a design career could lead is something worth celebrating!

Our heartfelt thanks to the International Furnishings and Design Association IFDA and the IFDA Educational Fund IFDAEF, whose generous sponsorship helped make these experiences possible. Your support helps us educate, encourage and invest in the next generation of design talent.

Know a design student who’d love an experience like this? Share this with them and follow along for more student opportunities and design inspiration.

Touch history, design the future.

So exciting for the second year in a row one of our board members has been an ARTS Awards finalist! Earlier this year, Libby Langdon - Hamptons, NYC Interior Designer took home the Product Designer of The Year award. In 2027, we’ll be rooting for you Nicole Culler!!

Reposted • Nicole Culler A TRUE PINCH ME MOMENT I am incredibly honored to share that I have been announced a finalist for the 37th Annual ARTS Awards in the Interior Designer category. The ART: Accessories Resource Team and Dallas Market Center , celDallas Market Centerreativity, and achievement across the home and design industry. The ARTS AWARDS are recognized as the highest honor in our field. What makes this recognition so meaningful to me is that this award is peer nominated. Each finalist is recognized by our industries for the work, creativity, and contributions of one another. ART’s mission to promote and strengthen the home furnishings industry through connection, education, and recognition is one I deeply value. This is an industry built on relationships with fellow designers, manufacturers, artisans, makers, showrooms, representatives, and so many talented people that bring our vision to fruition.
To have HOUSE OF CULLER recognized among this talented group of finalists is something I do not take lightly. I am grateful for every client who has trusted me their home, every vendor and workroom who has helped bring a design to life, and every friend and colleague who has encouraged me along the way. From starting my own design studio to seeing my name on this list, hands down a PINCH ME MOMENT! I am honored to be included alongside my fellow finalists, and I look forward to celebrating our industry together in Dallas in January 2027.
