For almost 50 years, Palecek has combined natural materials and traditional handcrafting techniques with contemporary designs to create exceptional and unforgettable furnishings.

As a family-owned business, they prioritize relationships, partnerships, and quality above profit, striving to be a trusted partner by providing customizable finishes and solutions to fit their clients’ needs. Their unwavering curiosity and commitment to never stop learning lead to a profound understanding of their products.

Palecek was founded by Allan H. Palecek, a former Air Force pilot who, after serving in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, had a passion for travel and a hunch that natural-fiber accessories could fill a niche in the American design landscape.

Today, the brand has grown to encompass artisans and suppliers in multiple countries, eight US showrooms, and a solar-powered headquarters. The founder’s son, Andrew, now leads the organization, carrying the legacy forward and continuing to innovate with renewable materials.
