Following the December 2025 debut of Stefon Diggs’s Si Vis Pacem during Design Miami, the NFL superstar is presenting his first solo exhibition. Now on view at Tuleste Factory, “If You Want Peace” features sculptural furnishings, objects, and interventions that personify peace as a daily ritual.

“I find the greatest sense of peace in myself and in the spaces I create,” says Diggs, whose creations are placed in dialogue with surrealist paintings by Si Vis Pacem co-founder Lindsey Dawn. “With this exhibition, I wanted to explore that feeling through an environment that feels a little more wild, inviting, playful, and deeply human, while still holding a sense of sanctuary.”

From his lake mirrors and H benches to the intentional soft curves and rich textures, the collection is designed to feel both elevated and comforting. “I feel like I go to war every day… between my career, my passions, and everyday life,” Diggs says. “When I come home, I want to feel peace. A place where I can reset, reflect, and recharge. Si Vis Pacem is really my way of creating that feeling within my own space. Honestly, the moments I feel most at peace are in the spaces I create.”

“If You Want Peace” is on view at Tuleste Factory from now through the end of July.
