Palecek Opens High Point Showroom in Hamilton Design District

PALECEK’s High Point showroom has moved to 200 North Hamilton Street, Suite 200, High Point, NC 27260

A leading manufacturer and wholesaler of natural-inspired furnishings, lighting, accessories, and wall décor for residen-tial and hospitality, PALECEK has served the High Point design community from a showroom in the International Home Furnishings Center (IHFC), for nearly four decades.
PALECEK is moving to a new location in the prestigious Hamilton Design District encompassing the entire first floor of the 200 N. Hamilton building. “This stunning location enables us to offer a whole new level of visual storytelling and a greatly enhanced shopping experience,” says PALECEK Chief Creative Officer Andrew T. Palecek.

“The space gives us the opportunity to show how our natural-inspired indoor and outdoor collections can bring beauty, warmth, and texture to an endless variety of settings, from urban to coastal and traditional to contemporary. And as we continue to grow our PALECEK Outdoor brand—which features furnishings inspired by natural materials, crafted for durability—we’re particularly excited to have such an expansive space in which to show those products in a full range of exquisitely merchandised settings.”

“As a company that prides itself on partnership and lasting relationships, we’re looking forward to introducing our new showroom to the High Point buyers,” adds David Beld, PALECEK President of Sales and Business Development, “We’re thrilled that it will provide enhanced opportunities to welcome our design community, including a large hospitality area, and well as meeting spaces where we can welcome designers for events, CEU programs, and more.”

“I’m proud of this move,” says Allan H. Palecek, the company’s founder and chairman. “When my wife Nancy and I started this company in 1974, I didn’t imagine a brand that is now so recognized and respected—or a location of this scope and beauty. Now, half a century later, I’m grateful to all the people I’ve worked with in the US and abroad, and proud that my son, Andrew Palecek, is leading the company toward a bright future. This showroom is a perfect setting for that future to unfold.”

“High Point remains a dynamic and growing destination for our industry, and we’re honored to be a part of this community,” adds Andrew T. Palecek. We want to especially thank Bob Maricich, Julie Messner, and Kimberly Cox of ANDMORE for helping us make this expansion happen. And a big thank you to all our customers, partners, and everyone on the PALECEK team for their dedication and incredible support. This beautiful new space is for all of you to enjoy and is a proud moment for our brand.”

2024 ART Conference Service Project Announced

 

 

ART Conference 2024 Announces Annual Community Service Project
Volunteers of America Southeast Louisiana –
Napoleon Ave and Pitt Street Veterans Facilities – May 9, 2024, New Orleans, LA

 

February 7, 2024 – Charlotte, NC – The ART Conference Committee 2024 announced today that the beneficiaries of the annual community service project will be Volunteers of America Southeast Louisiana: Napoleon Ave and Pitt Street Veterans Facilities. This will be ART’s ninth service project in the conference host city. ART Conference 2024 will be held at the Loews New Orleans, May 8-10, 2024.

Volunteers of America Southeast Louisiana Veterans Services program provides transitional housing and rehabilitation services for homeless male veterans referred by the Veterans Administration in the Greater New Orleans area. Available in two facilities, one located on Napoleon Avenue and the other on Pitt Street, veterans receive the therapy needed to overcome substance abuse, gain job skills, and enhance mental health. They also have access to housing and a full continuum of rehabilitation services.
This program offers more than just shelter. Over a 24-month period, veterans benefit from intensive case management, support services, and treatment. The staff works individually with each veteran to develop a personalized plan to rebuild their lives. Upon stabilization, residents save a percentage of their income, establishing a reserve for future expenses as they transition into permanent housing outside the program.

Conference volunteers will work on these facilities to enhance the existing living quarters and outside common areas.  Home industry companies will be asked to donate furnishings for installation to enhance the apartments and to replace damaged goods.

To see the full conference schedule, register to attend and participate in this rewarding service project, visit the conference website here.
