Jean Pelle of PELLE tells us about 5 of her favorite things, including a rare car, musician, and a famed NYC restaurant.

Jean Pelle is one-half of the team behind New York City’s PELLE, an independent design studio she co-founded with partner Oliver Pelle, who she met while they both pursued their Masters in Architecture at Yale University. After stints at Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects in New York City, Eric Owen Moss Architects in Los Angeles, and EHDD Architecture in San Francisco, Jean set up her own studio in 2008. After publishing her Bubble Chandelier as a DIY project in Readymade Magazine, the piece took off in popularity and put her studio on the map.
