The Collection

After five years, the collaborative collection is expanding and refining. Nix is headquartered in Los Angeles, but he first began working in the American South East doing projects for Disney.

Combining contemporary influences, natural materials, and aesthetics, PALECEK x Kirk Nix pushes the bounds of design.

The Pratt Chair Collection is an iconic piece for PALECEK x Kirk Nix and is inspired by indigenous art and fishing net weaving. The Pratt Arm Chair features plantation hardwood frame and legs in a dark espresso finish featuring natural jute rope in an open weave pattern.

Backgrounds

The best designs come from collaboration. Nix came from a strictly hospitality background while Andrew T. Palecek comes from the PALECEK tradition of unique residential and hospitality pieces. The meeting of minds has led to more intricate furnishings with ever-developing weaves.

Inspiration

Nix takes his lifetime of travel from Saudi Arabia to China and beyond to his designs. Andrew T. Palecek finds inspiration in details that begin transforming into a broader design.
