THE COMPANY
................................................................................................................................

Mary Jurek Design, Inc. is a Los Angeles based luxury goods company that creates and distributes fine tableware and sustainable home design products to retail stores throughout the United States. Founded in 1998 by award winning jewelry and watch artisan Mary Jurek, the company juxtaposes hand-hammered stainless steel with a soft, organic flare, creating an “old world meets modern day” style that appeals to luxury lifestyle enthusiasts everywhere.

The exquisite collection of hand-wrought stainless steel tableware combines clean, bold shapes with an organic sense of texture. The company takes great pride in the fact that all products are hand-made by artisans throughout the world with direct creative input from and oversight by Founder Mary Jurek.


THE FOUNDER
................................................................................................................................

Mary Jurek founded Mary Jurek Design, Inc. in 1998 after winning international awards and working as jewelry and watch artiste designing for notable brands including Piaget, Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Wako of Tokyo, Gubelin of Switzerland, and Gump’s of San Francisco.

Today, Jurek is a successful social entrepreneur and business owner residing in the greater Los Angeles area. Using her past experience working with stainless steel to guide her burgeoning luxury tableware and home design company, it is clear that she has developed a unique line of products that reflect both her personal and professional preferences: organic and unadorned yet beautiful in the most classic sense of the word.

In addition to her craftsmanship, a great majority of Jurek’s time is spent scouting female-owned factories in economically underdeveloped areas where her company can make a positive social impact through creating jobs for local villagers, particularly the oft exploited young women. For Jurek, the paradox of her primitive, individually hand-welded products juxtaposed with modern-day luxury living is the ultimate expression of her artistic vision.
