About Us

Founded in 2011 by Deepali Pareek, DE-COR was born from a passion for storytelling through objects. What began as a love affair with the arts of the Indian sub-continent has grown into a global treasure hunt. Deepali believes that every antique—whether a sun-bleached door or a tribal mask—carries a soul that adds warmth and character to modern homes.

Unlike retailers who order from catalogs, we travel. Deepali personally journeys to remote corners of the world—from the arid deserts of Rajasthan and the tribal villages of West Africa to the historic provinces of China—to hand-select each piece in our collection. We look for the "perfect imperfections": the patina of use, the mark of the chisel, and the history etched into the wood.

Located on San Gabriel Blvd in Pasadena, CA our showroom is designed to be an engaging sanctuary for designers, collectors, and homeowners. It is not just a store; it is a library of textures. We invite you to walk through our doors, smell the aged teak, and find the piece that speaks to your own story.
