Style Making a Statement

Jack Pesarcyk Associates  · Style · Detail · Service
Style making a statement: A case of nature rather than nurture.
.

Born with a natural instinct for style and creative vision, Jack Pesarcyk was destined to leave the farm to work in more creative fields.  After adventures across the skies and the Rockies, he completed degrees in both Commercial Art and Marketing.  The strong Mid Western values and rural upbringing are key foundations to Jack's continued success in business.


Opportunity, tenacity, and that natural instinct lead Jack Pesarcyk to open Designers Emporium with a group of creative and like-minded souls, and ultimately threw Jack into his very own showroom in 1991.  Jack started with a focus on furnishings... but always had an eye for the perfect accessory.  The accessories grew from the need to make it all look just right.    
 
Jack is widely known for eclectic style, attention to detail, and exceptional service.  These three aspects are the intrinsic drivers behind Jack Pesarcyk Associates, an elegant and sumptuous to-the-trade showroom.resource for design professionals,  he offers an ever changing source of inspiration, reliable price points, up to date style, and creative consultation

What makes Jack Pesarcyk Associates so distinguished?   Well that would be Jack himself and his three guiding instincts which he shares with us....


Style...what is the difference between style and fashion?  One makes a statement the other follows a trend.  Quentin Crisp said, "Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are."  Style may be luxurious, nostalgic, conservative, or whimsical - but it always requires good quality and workmanship, because it's meant to stand the test of time.  Therefore, Jack Pesarcyk Associates strives to bring together  many periods, genres, and themes.  A variety of styles can all  have their place in my showroom; if they are quality pieces conceived with integrity and attention to detail.  
  
Detail... is the work that makes something complete, finished, and beautiful.  It is the  bringing together of the smallest physical and visual aspects into a greater design. Inspiration, dedication, and diligence are all components of detail - the very root and foundation of all design.      

Service...is a simple idea; there is so much that can be lost in translation.  Designers need a partner who will make sure of the finer points of orders.  Good service alleviates problems, prevents unwanted surprises, and opens the gates of communication between the designer and us.
